Monocle preview: March issue, 2025

In Monocle’s Property Survey special, we meet architects, developers and designers for a masterclass in building better cities and homes. Join us as we explore everything from car-free communities in the US and a creative-arts estate in Australia to a revamped neighbourhood in Bangkok. Plus: we meet the man in charge of the Panama Canal, check in with the global textile trade and take a seat at some of the world’s best late-night restaurants. It promises to be a whistle-stop tour – come along for the ride.
