Art house
Communal living with like-minded folk can be a source of inspiration. And there’s no better example than Helsinki’s Lallukka, an artists’ residence nurturing global talent.
Test match
The need to trial initiatives in our cities has never been greater – and finding the right test bed is key.
From the art
While you’re stuck at home, it’s a good time to think about what you want from your office in the future. We meet three companies who believe that art enhances morale, identity and relationships.
Finishing touch
A 1930s restaurant has been revived by chef Helena Puolakka and designer Ilse Crawford. We pull up a chair.
Cities
Delhi’s grand avenue gets a makeover and Helsinki’s new chief design officer reveals her plans.
Editor’s letter
Our editor in chief puts today’s turbulence in perspective and offers a smart approach.
Gently does it
From soothing swims in Athens to sleep-easy stays in South Africa, our restful agenda comprises escapes and retreats to help you slow down, unwind and live in the moment.
Open book
The Finnish capital’s new public library was the result of an anonymous open competition. As other cities look for a less ‘starchitect’ future, it shows what can be achieved with a little democracy.
Critical mass
Restaurant openings can buoy neighbourhoods and set a city’s culinary agenda. We asked our favourite food writers for the inside scoop on the launches to look out for in the year ahead.
Riding the waves
We meet the people finding innovative solutions to the problems on their doorstep, from cleaning up Krakow's air to preserving the skills of Portuguese artisans, in cities from Helsinki to Ho Chi Minh City.
