gondolas suggest venice but idk the name of the structure
My guess: tinted B&W photo of a Beaux-Arts/''City Beautiful'' environment ginned up for one of the great exhibitions/worlds' fairs. Could even be Chicago 1893.

yeah Chicago 1893 had gondolas

Too much open space for Venice.

The Guardian has a variation today - guess the city from a stripped down aerial map highlighting rivers etc. I feel this will be trivial compared the standard of play in this thread.... https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2016/dec/13/water-features-id-city-rivers-harbours-quiz
― NWOFHM! Overlord (krakow), Tuesday, 13 December 2016 10:50 (nine years ago)
i only got 6/11 but tbh the rivers were less of a help than the street plans
(spoiler alert the north american cities and brasilia were p obvious because of this)

10/11, but multiple choice was criiiiitical
― walk back to the halftime long, billy lynn, billy lynn (Doctor Casino), Tuesday, 13 December 2016 18:54 (nine years ago)
I got the same for the same reason.
I was thinking that a spin-off thread of speculative city plans that were never built or ambitious development ideas currently in the works but not yet existing, and guessing where they were / are meant to be, would be interesting - but i would probably be terrible at it.
This one is real:
