After more discussions on the German ML it looks as if one subdivision for suburbs (the proposed neighbourhood) was not enough, so we invented another level in the hierarchy of settlement parts. As the name for these parts as well as the structure depends heavily on local history, tradition and culture it is somehow impossible to find a term which fits (by its linguistic definition) into all needs. The proposed value is "quarter" for the "place"-key. Keep in mind that also the value "suburb" can not (by its most common interpretation) be interpreted with common sense (you wouldn't call the city centre a "suburb" normally - at least not outside Australia).
