I am a bit confused seeing Town as theme.

For example, I have these 3 sets, which are City Space Set#

3368 Space Center
3365 Space Moon Buggy
3367 Space Shuttle

Yet on BL they are categorised as

Town City Space Port Set#

This seems incorrect. The Town theme does not seem to exist in LEGO. The main
theme is City.
And Space Port is not a subtheme either.

Any feedback is appreciated.

They are historical BrickLink classifications.

Vintage sets were not themed, so everything to do with a city was categorized
as "Town" on BrickLink. Once the "City" theme was named, it was created as a
subset of "Town" so that all sets related to a city could be found by the "Town"
category search.

"Space Port" is the category used on BrickLink to categorize things that relate
to space but are realistic and Earth-focused in origin. It is a BrickLink specific
subtheme.

For future information, BrickLink's classification system is different from
other sites.
