Last week’s contest was won by Theophrastus. It was Bonn, Germany.
This week’s a random location from the Google Maps views, good luck! (you may have noticed that the redesign allows for larger images in these posts from now on, thanks Goldy!)

The only places in the world zoned like this are Nigeria, Mumbai, and Texas.
My best guess was Queenstown, Eastern Cape, South Africa, among the very few cities and towns in the world with a hexagonal street grid—but the structures don’t match.
