Diverse city
Our series on media hubs takes us to Istanbul, a city undergoing rapid change that is transforming its media landscape. Monocle explores the city’s diverse media offerings that are influencing the nation.
Hidden gems
This month’s best in global travel includes an idyllic hotel in a former palace, a Polish shop showcasing the works of local artists and designers and a retro barbershop in Mexico City.
Africa/Middle East
The start-up possibilities of Amman and where South Africa's high-speed rail network extension could lead.
Outside the box
Israel has long avoided wading into the international news environment, wary of its own global perception. Until, that is, the recent launch of i24 TV channel.

Business
Diamond cutting in Israel, olive oil farming in Croatia and the business of making Japan cool.
How to…
For advice on ambitious projects and world-changing actions, we turn to the people at the sharp end. Here, they give the benefit of their hard-won experience.
Revitalising retreats
Be it yoga in Brazil or hot springs in Japan, these destinations won’t recharge your batteries – they’ll replace them with hybrid engines.
