Monocle’s Quality of Life Survey 2022
Monocle’s 15th annual Quality of Life Survey charts 25 outposts on the up and ranks the best places to put down roots. Did your city make the cut?
The Opener
Filming toilets in Japan, an error of biblical proportions and a potato-based conflict.
The Opener
Fresh beats from DJ Kungs, plane bad behaviour and Berlin’s U-Bahn tunes in.
Canada: state of the nation
From a thriving economy to potent soft-power credentials, we unpack what keeps Canada on the up.
League of its own
An art school just a few blocks from Moma is sculpting the next generation of Rothkos and Pollocks.
The Opener
Heads of state left hanging, a new audience for James Blunt and an Argentinian exodus.
Scene stealers
Chicago's Manual Cinema solved a stylistic puzzle for the Candyman sequel, using shadow puppets to recreate flashback scenes without jarring the new film's aesthetic.
The Opener
Kids on heavy machinery, Belgian actress Virginie Efira and irksome train announcements.
Civic pride
The seat of power defines how a city is run but the buildings can also project an idea of place. We highlight some of the best, from Aarhus to Mumbai.
