Sommige provincies (zoals <a href="/wiki/New_Brunswick" title="New Brunswick">New Brunswick</a>) maken een drievoudig onderscheid tussen een city ("stad"), town ("gemeente") en village ("dorp"). In andere provincies gaat de onderverdeling nog verder, zoals in <a href="/wiki/Ontario" title="Ontario">Ontario</a> waar er daarenboven ook "townships" en "municipalities" bestaan. De provincie met het meeste aantal towns is <a href="/wiki/Newfoundland_en_Labrador" title="Newfoundland en Labrador">Newfoundland en Labrador</a>, waar er drie steden zijn en alle andere geïncorporeerde plaatsen de status "town" dragen. <a href="/wiki/Quebec_(provincie)" title="Quebec (provincie)">Quebec</a> is de enige provincie zonder towns, aangezien alle plaatsen daar – ongeacht hun grootte – de status "ville" hebben. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Nederland">Nederland</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Town&veaction=edit&section=4" title="Bewerk dit kopje: Nederland" class="mw-editsection-visualeditor"><span>bewerken</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-divider"> | </span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Town&action=edit&section=4" title="De broncode bewerken van de sectie: Nederland"><span>brontekst bewerken</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In Nederland wordt de term "<a href="/wiki/New_town" class="mw-redirect" title="New town">new town</a>" gebruikt voor <a href="/wiki/Groeikern" title="Groeikern">groeikernen</a> die in de 1960er jaren nabij grote steden zijn gebouwd om deze te ontlasten en ruimte te bieden aan mensen die vlak bij de grote stad een huis met tuin wilden hebben.
