1 hr confidence:
most important/most significant neighbourhoods/areas of the city/districts Explanation: I was going to comment on the use of representative too - I appreciate your definition, but would suggest that the text is also using it rather flexibly in an attempt to say that they are in all the right places! ´ We don´t know your target readers´ type of English, but I presume it´s not UK, but US, so US English translators may wish to comment on the neighbourhood/district/quarter question. |
