The green text above is what you wrote; the black text is my translation and reformatting to make it clear to me (and, we can hope, other English-speakers who read it). But the red items are things I didn't understand. I'm not conversant with your unit of area (what you called "surface,") and I'm not sure what you mean by "Quarters" (unless these are the subdivisions of the town).

Does "kmq" stand for "kilometers squared"?

Assuming that the area of the town is 53.05 square kilometers, and assuming that I did the conversion correctly, the area of the town is about 20.5 square miles. Judging by my appreciation of the ratio of the kilometer to the mile, I think that's a reasonable number.
