Sunny outlook
Each spring, the property industry’s elite decamp to Cannes. Monocle heads to the French Riviera to rub shoulders with the architects, urbanists and developers shaping our cities at this year’s fair.
Old town
Once populated by gangs, Casco Viejo is now a major draw for its hotels, shops and galleries.
Home truths
The property rush overlooks that homes are made, not just bought. In this issue Monocle finds inspiration in the people who haven’t forgotten how to live.
Business
Citizens regeneration in Detroit, salmon selling in Alaska and other business news and views.
Return to splendour
The appeal of this affable port city is rising, especially in the revitalised Cavana quarter.
Slowly does it

East Austin
An influx of entrepreneurs has given East Austin a new lease of life, filling the border town with an artisan scene that’s disproving many of its myths.
Saint-Gilles
With its beautiful, spacious art nouveau houses and cosmopolitan feel, Saint-Gilles is proving a draw for those looking for fresh pastures.
MIPIM and Cruise Shipping
Monocle hops from the property fair in Cannes to the cruise show in Miami.
Marshan & Medina
