Monocle Magazine Issue No. 175

If there’s one thing to know about Monocle, it’s that they’ve got both depth and range, covering everything from geopolitics to groovy shopping destinations. Founder Tyler Brûlé also started iconic style magazine Wallpaper* and did stints at the Financial Times and BBC Four, so you know both sides of the brain are covered in great detail. Issue No. 175, in their words: “We’ve crunched the numbers, canvassed the locals and hit the bars. And now Monocle’s Quality of Life Index is here: the definitive ranking of the top places to live in 2024. Where does your city rank? We also meet five mayors who are preening their patches, learn some breezy branding lessons and have a big night out in Bali – it is summer, after all. And our bumper double issue will see you through the season in style.”
