What are "towns" and "suburbs" in Belgium ? In Liège, as far as I know, old communes are now the name of some "quartiers" (i do not know the word in english). If I would map them, I would use the disctrict/deelgemeentes/section level... But maybe I am wrong...
But I do not know about any examples of town or suburb... I do not understand also the link between the tag place=* and admin_level=*. I think that, in Belgium, we should have to set a place "town" inside a admin_level "municipalities" because there isn't any official "town"... For instance: create a relation "boundary=administrative + admin_level=(municipalities: 7 or 8)" and, inside, a "place=city" if it is more than 100.000 inhabitants, "place=town" if the municipality counts between 10.000 and 100.000 inhabitants, ... But this is a bit unclear for me...
