It’s Shanghai, Yan’an Road West. You can see the front of Jing’an Temple and the adjacent mall in the distance. There’s definitely some editing weirdness going on on the road in the foreground though.
That’s called a lens filter (or photoshop).
Please stop calling that something is AI generated, you obviously don’t know how to tell if it is.
This image was made at least before 2020

Is this a real city? If so, which one?

Don’t think its real. Look at the three identical blue windows on the front left house.
That’s called a reflection.
A reflection. At this time of the year. In this part of the country. Localised entirely 3 floors down?
Yes!
It’s a reflection of the far away road.
It definitely looks a lot like Toronto, but it’s been a while since I was there
Looked like Toronto to me too. Very similar design to the Gardiner Expressway going through downtown Toronto between the waterfront and CN Tower.
Looks straight out of Toronto QEW downtown.

it doesn’t look ai generated. there are no “weird” details
photoManipulated maybe?

Yeah, I would guess that maybe multiple photographs have been stitched together to make the image alongside the color editing.

A reflect of a distant light source, that’s why it’s extremely similar.

I was talking about the 3 blues one.
And if the image is fake, then what is it ? AI generated ?
I am guessing Shanghai China.

We don’t need AI to design nightmares like this for us. We do it to ourselves.
Nah this looks pretty standard photoshopping to me. Pretty sure the colour grading is one of the standard filters in lightroom
