Fitzroy is one of Melbourne's most creative neighbourhoods, occupying the city's smallest and most densely-populated suburban area. Decades of urban renewal, gentrification, and historic preservation has produced a haven for artists, designers, makers and musicians to live, work and play. Fitzroy is home to many migrant communities whose influences contribute to the area's diverse social and cultural landscape. The suburb also boasts a wide range of independent small businesses, with an abundance of bars, cafes, restaurants, galleries, street art and entertainment.
