Taking the pulse
Our writers probe the state of globalisation, explore Mexico’s political landscape and share tips for surviving an intense news cycle as they weigh up the issues of the year ahead.
Cities
A tale of two disaster-ready cities, the view on participatory urbanism from Aarhus and LA’s inventive way of dealing with the hot, hot heat.
Defence
Colombia’s defence minister discusses post-Farc security, while we also look at Turkey’s pilot shortage, a game-changing water vessel and the Royal Canadian navy’s ship names.
Back to the future
We look at Berlin’s new airport and why it’s still grounded, question the future of driverless cars and discover why the electric vehicle remains the perennial “car of tomorrow”.
Culture
How to translate design on television, the Autophoto show in Paris and a preview of Photo London.
Between the lines
Matters of national and international security are best left to the professionals. But who are they and where do they get their intelligence? From fact to fiction, we reveal our sources.
