French term or phrase: ...en quartiers, Montréal (i.e. "Montréal en quartiers")

This is a website on the different areas in Montreal, their architecture, public art, squares. The primary meaning of the original title is something like "The districts of Montreal" but there is also the connotation of Montreal divided up into quarters, i.e. revealed, the way the inside of an orange is revealed when it is cut up into sections.

So far, I have come up with "Montreal InSites" -- to pun with websites. Does anyone have any better ideas?

Montreal Segments

Explanation:
Like the segments of an orange but also in the sense of one or several parts that fit with others to constitute a whole object.

I still like your original idea of Montreal InSites though....

...en quartiers, Montréal (i.e. Montreal Divisions

Explanation:
This one has a bit of a negative connotation, but it integrates the idea of Montreal being sectioned and also the concept that the different "quartiers" define different ethnic and linguistic communities and classes.
