Royal to the last
Montréal’s Linton, Chateau and Acadia apartment buildings are beacons of historic grandeur. Monocle takes a tour of homes that celebrate the city’s architectural heritage.
To the letter
Montréal, Melbourne and Madrid are – in their own distinct ways – each blazing a trail when it comes to establishing (or reviving) themselves among fashion’s most sought-after cities.
Americas
San José's new flight, Montréal's crumbling bridge and El Salvador's election. Plus, an interview with the US housing secretary on rebuilding with resilience after Hurricane Sandy in the Americas.
That’s just how I roll
Vélo Québec is the guiding force behind Montréal’s celebrated bike culture, a model being exported around the world. The woman in the saddle explains how she forged a lean, green urban lifestyle.
Inside the box
Created for Montréal’s Expo 67, Habitat 67 is an iconic building that remains relevant today. We meet three residents and talk to architect Moshe Safdie about why the project has been so successful.
Almost there
Montréal has slipped in our city rankings, joining others in our bottom five for the past two years. We welcome newcomer Seattle to the list and will be watching its progress closely.
Voice of the people
Every city has a local media star who is part of its fabric. Content with staying on home turf, they become an institution, explaining their metropolis to a loyal public.
Americas
The US embraces pedal power, New York takes to its rivers; plus a cultural haven in Colombia.
Saint-Henri
Montréal’s distinctive cultural mix, fine architecture and liberal sensibility has made it Canada’s most desirable city (though Vancouverites may say otherwise). Its Saint-Henri neighbourhood is becoming especially attractive for home hunters.
Could do better
Though they missed the top 10, the cities ranked 11-20 in Monocle's Quality of Life chart are still great places to live. We explore what makes them stand out.
