What city is this a photo of?
Here
I think it’s Chicago because of that middle building or was it a building of Chicago School Architecture in New York? I can’t remember art history.

I’d say New York because of the angled street, Broadway angles across the Manhattan grid like that.
The guys in Vampire Weekend changed how they wrote songs, how they record and what an album of theirs even looks like – the cover for “Modern Vampires of the City” is not another artsy old Polaroid, but a 1966 black-and-white photo of a smoggy New York skyline. Source
It may be a composite picture from more than one location but I can see the flatiron building in New York there.
It isn’t Chicago or Manhattan. Both are on flat, flat ground. Thinking of hilly cities, it isn’t San Francisco or Seattle. Pittsburgh? Any idea in which countries it might be?
Well, I flunked that quiz. Do I have to take it over?
Yep, Madison Park is lower left. The Metropolitan Life building tall at the left. Flatiron building is just below the “EK” of WEEKEND. The view is looking South from maybe 26th Street.
Manhattan isn’t hilly like San Francisco, but it does have some elevations. Between the POV and downtown is Canal street which is a geographic (and possible other) lowpoint.
And way downtown there are some enormous buildings around the financial district that would make it seem that area is higher but it is similar in elevation to the POV.
