Lol...both DTK and Urban are both open to some interpretation...  

I'm getting that itch to create a map...I mean, Kitchener already has one for Downtown that we could argue about https://www.kitchener.ca/en/resourcesGen...nities.pdf.

It's easy to the "east" and the "south", because the expressway.  To the "north" and "west" it's arguably trickier, although Westmount and University offer simplicity of definition.  To me "urban" looks a lot like K-W circa pre-1970s, while "suburban" is K-W post-1970s, roughly speaking.

Wow, that's a much more generous interpretation than I was going to give, I'd say 1 is the core, 2, 3, 4, (parts of) 5, 6, 7, (parts of) 8, 10 are a given, and 9, 13, 14 are debatable as downtown neighbourhoods.

For urban areas there are a couple smaller areas I'd include outside the DTK, like Belmont Village, King/University, maybe Bridgeport.

But one could pick any number of criteria and come up with any number of different locations.
