Open days
In need of an urban pick-me-up? Boosting quality of life in cities doesn’t always require large-scale intervention. These projects are improving the way their cities look, act and feel.
The opener
From game-changers to green capitals and suspect statues, we round up some eye-catching news from across the globe.
Cities of discovery
Our urban spaces need to change but not in the way you might expect, says Andrew Tuck.
Cities Briefing
We sit down with the woman who could be Copenhagen’s next mayor and explore a park project in Busan.
Growth area
Few things determine the success of a start-up as much as location, which dictates its reach and, importantly, access to talent. Take Munich, where new technology firms are partnering with top universities.
Upwardly mobile
Don’t rule out lesser-celebrated cities for your business. Though the capital of Piedmont might have lain in Milan's shadow, it is now proving to be a bright spot for entrepreneurs.
Sunny outlook
US entrepreneurs might be spoilt for choice but established hubs like New York can’t compete with Miami. Start-ups reign in its warm embrace, with artists, designers and big-name brands also moving in.
Industrial revolution
A new era is dawning for a former industrial neighbourhood in Brussels. The canalside Tour & Taxis area is now buzzing with energy as warehouses are redeveloped into cultural, residential and commercial spaces.
Put down a marker
A commitment to independent shops and cafés has transformed Seoul’s Seongsu district into a unique retail hub. We survey the best places to do business, from Helsinki to Baja California Sur.
Concrete jungles
As urbanites the world over seek to nurture a little nature in their cities, we travel to Singapore, Copenhagen and Beirut to visit three projects with rewilding at their heart.
