Model subclassing is under an ongoing heavy refactoring, and doesn't
reliably work. If I were setting it up, what I'd do is something like
class Place(models.Model):
...stuff here that's shared by all types of places...
class City(models.Model):
...stuff here that's specific to cities...
place = models.OneToOneField(Place)
class Park(models.Model):
....stuff here that's specific to parks...
place = models.OneToOneField(Place)
And so on.
There is a note in the docs about one-to-one relationships, but it's
safe to ignore; that's more related to the work on subclassing (once
it's done, a lot of things that one-to-one fields are used for will
hopefully be accomplished more effectively by subclassing) than to any
problems with OneToOneField.
As for the sections stuff, what I'd do is create a CitySection model,
and give each Place a ForeignKey to a CitySection.
