Municipalities And Neighbourhoods
A city's neighbourhoods tell much about both the city and the people who live there. Greater Victoria is composed of different municipalities grouped together as part of the Capital Regional District. Within each municipality are a number of different neighbourhoods.
Neighbourhoods help us envision our cities. For instance if someone says they are walking from Fernwood to Vic West I can estimate how long it will take for them to get there. When someone says they bought a new house in Uplands (an expensive neighbourhood) I may judge them by their income.
I found some interactive maps of Greater Victoria. The first gives an overview of the different municipalities and links to related websites. The second map shows the nieghbourhoods in each municipality. Click on the main map to see the neighbourhoods.
As you can see Greater Victoria is an interesting and diverse region.
