Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

Melbourne and its street-car suburbs have the world's largest collection of cast iron filigree in the world. Every house (really cottage) has a porch and yard too small to be functional, but not too small to be beautiful. If you thought Ernst Burgess's "zone of independent working men's homes" had to be bland, South Melbourne will change your mind. [2011]
