Some wards are going to be split multiple times if Clarke's proposed map passes as is. The 18th, which includes Fishtown & Kensington, is split three ways. Part in the 1st, the 5th snakes its way through Fishtown all the way up to Norris street. The northern part in the 7th. 
The 42nd ward, a majority Hispanic ward, covering parts of Feltonville and Olney is also split 3 ways between the 7th, 8th, and 9th districts.
And the proposed map now splits the 54th ward three ways. It was just split twice in the current map. It now includes parts of the 9th, as well as the 6th and 7th districts.
The 29th ward is newly split in the proposed map. The 3rd district crosses the Schuylkill to take over the Art Museum and Lemon Hill area, as well as a small chunk of Brewerytown. The 29th ward was previously kept whole in the 5th district.
