Need advice with site organization

Hi,
I’m wondering what is the best way to do this:

I have a cities, like London, Brisel etc. , and then in every city I have some number of companies (could be a lot of them), and then about every company I have articles.

I guess cities must be sections, and companies belongs to sections, but then articles can’t belong to sections, becouse there are differet companies.

I need a way to list companies by cities, and articles just for companies.

Uf, I dont know, any help?

Thanks!

:Although I’m not using the plugin myself I think that glz_custom_fields might be of help.

How about using the custom fields and categories? In my opinion cities are rather categories than sections because all cities use the same template so there would be no need for so many sections.

Thanks, so if I understand right, cities could be categories, and every company belongs to some category, so it will be easy to display them any way I wont.

Then I need just one section for companies, one template wich will display info about any company.

And custom fields are there just in case I need something else to divide.

Is this ok?

Anything is ok as long as it works :) Just try and see if it works for you. You could use the custom fields for collecting tabular data about the companies like size or address.
