I don't want to rain on your parade - but in 1516, that was called Ghetto Nuovo. Admittedly, this time round "they" added a new PR spin on it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghetto

Yeah, "ghetto" was the first word that popped to mind when I read the headline.

Historically gay districts or "ghettos" have kinda been a thing, places where it was marginally safer attracted LGBTQ communities to take hold. A city acknowledging that and designating a historical/cultural district would be the opposite of what you're suggesting.
