Take the lead
Every city needs a leader, but some roles are harder to fill than others. Here are five figures who aren't afraid of diving into sewers, catching snakes or working through the night.
Americas
We assess Hillary Clinton's presidential candidacy, Dominican diplomacy and archaeology in Chile.
The big city
Santa Cruz, Bolivia's economic powerhouse, has an independent spirit that clashes with President Evo Morales' socialist government. As the nation's breadbasket and fuel hub, it's a city Morales can't afford to lose.
Towering above it
In central Bogotá stands Rogelio Salmona’s striking Park Towers. The 1970s residential development blends harmoniously with its mountainous surroundings and serves as a unique public space for all to enjoy.
Diplomacy
An interview with Afghanistan's representatives to the UN, a report on British diplomacy in Latin America and why ties are growing between Chile and Finland.
Americas
Swapping rum for wine in the Dominican Republic, bidding for the Olympics in Anchorage and going long-haul with Alaska'a senator.
City of Mod
From murder capital to model metropolis: how Medellín's mayor is betting on cable cars, escalators and public architecture to transform forgotten slums and rewrite the city's violent reputation.
