Cork City centre

Are the quarters on the site corkcitycentre.ie official and are they talked about? What is the small quarter bordering north main street/The Marsh with no name? Is the website even official? Just curious as I was not really aware of them.

The only one I can think of is the area down by French church street with the hugenout cemetery.

No, not really official.

It seems everyone is trying to 'brand' their areas now. You have Washington Village (Washington St., Hanover St. and parts of South/North Main St.). The Victorian Quarter (McCurtain St. area). You have buildings which are 'quarters' (Trinity Quarter on Sullivan's Quay, City Quarter on Lapp's Quay). New developments which create new quarters, including Atlantic Quarter (probably now dead). I think there were proposed "Port" and "Marina" quarters too.

We really aren't an imaginative lot! In any case; no, they're not official names.

Can a city have more than 4 quarters?

Those modern day 'quarters' were dreamt up by developers and/or business associations and not official. Like the Wild Atlantic Way just a form of branding and marketing.

Huguenot Quarter is historic, but again not really an 'official' area with boundaries to be found on a map.

The city is divided into Wards, which are official areas.

I've also seen the 'University Quarter' mentioned and of course in my own neck of the woods
