• Following the updated World Statistics, there is a new special feature on: Cities of Dreams? It delves into the history of cities and urbanisation and the development of wealth and innovation alongside slums and desperation. The decline and rise of cities around the world are examined as are possible sustainable futures eg the 15-minute city.

• World city plans: 70 of the world's greatest cities in 119 maps are shown in detail with locations of great public buildings and the largest museums and galleries.
