City slickers
How does Toronto, one of Canada's noblest urban hubs, compare to its sister city and rival, Chicago? We pitted citizens of both places head to head to find out.
Something for everyone
Toronto's diversity is reflected in its retail scene. Our third Retail Safari is a tour of the city's best small businesses, from design outlets that resemble art galleries to markets promoting local creativity.
Upward mobility
As some borders tighten, many cities are opening their doors to lure ambitious businesses. We profile the global hubs holding their doors open and meet the entrepreneurs who accepted the invite.
Urbanism
A new lease of life in Lisbon's neighbourhood of Marvila and Beirut's lack of green space.
City dodge
Privacy and quiet are in short supply in the city. This mid-20th-century-inspired house in a lively Toronto shopping district is a lesson in bold choices and the art of concealment.
Sure shots
Nothing beats the warm embrace of a bar or café and whether it’s a speakeasy in Singapore or a cosy Torinese institution, we have found the most welcoming ones across the globe.
The missing link
Toronto’s new air-rail connection, UP Express, is revolutionising the city’s transport network. Made to be business-traveller friendly, its aesthetic is influenced by the Canadian landscape and some sharp uniforms.
