The Monocle Weekly

As Monocle's Quality of Life issue hits newstands around the world, this week's edition of the Monocle Weekly picks up on similar themes. The team talk to Dominik Wichmann, editor of Süddeutsche Zeitung magazine, about the benefits of living in Munich, before the Beirut-based artist Rana Salam joins on the line to share the charms of living in a more chaotic city. Tom Dyckhoff, architecture critic for The Times, is also in studio to discuss the importance of balancing thorough planning with spontaneity in the cities of the future.
