A bit off-topic, but looking from above, cities in Europe, USA/Canada and South America look very different from each other. Most of cities in Europe are full of buildings forming a square, in some cases they look as a chess table. In USA/Canada (NYC is an exception), there are relativelly small places with very tall buildings and the rest of the city is formed by houses and large pavements, often covered by green lawns. In South America, the buildings are more scattered and cover a large area in the city, and most of the houses are terraced, with shorter pavements.
Nothing Italian about it. It's s typical British Georgian architecture which in some cases has been adapted to Sydney's Mediterranean climate by including balconies.

Sydney's climate is not Mediterranean. It's humid subtropical, but not too far from border with oceanic, so its summers are not very hot. Sydney is on Australia's east coast. Mediterranean climates usually occur at west coasts of the continents. Sydney - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Well, ironically I would say that Italianate is a typically American style.
Italianate was actually developed by the British, borrowing from Italian architecture. Think of it as more of an Italian revival architecture developed in Britain.

I agree that Sydney's climate is too humid to be considered Mediterranean, but temperature-wise it has a Mediterranean pattern. It was temperatures which prompted balconies, not precipitations.
As far as I know, Buenos Aires, Porto Alegre, Havana, Montreal, and Quebec City in the Americas. Are there any others?
(Please exclude cities like Shanghai, Qingdao, NYC and Melbourne as they don't feel European enough - been to those cities)
Oh, gosh...yes!
Some of the architecture here is truly spectacular. From gargoyles to gothic cathedrals and cobblestoned streets, to hospitals which look like castles. Some of our buildings date back to the 1600s, but then, we were never bombed.
