Hello and welcome to the Urbanist.
Welcome to Monocle's programme all about the built environment.
I'm your host, Andrew Tuck.
Coming up, when you do something disruptive and then you do something with taste which is stable, you produce something which is amazing because it's continuously multiplying the machinery and this continuously produce and extend and distribute.
So that's something which is, for me, extremely important.
We take time to look back today as we speak to the man behind one of Milan's most iconic pieces of architecture, the vertical forest.
Ten years on from construction, we explore the impact these towers, which meld nature and the city, have had locally and globally.
We also take a stroll with a writer who has recently revisited a collection of essays he made while walking around Toronto to see how the landscape has changed after more than a decade.
And we see how the refurbishment of a traditional house in Old Delhi is giving visitors a chance to see into the city's past.
All of that ahead in the next 30 minutes right here on the Urbanist, with me, Andrew Tuck.
In Toronto, more than a decade ago, the writer Sean Michaela, who founded the monthly urban affairs magazine Spacing, and who writes a weekly column on city life in the Toronto Star newspaper, decided to explore the experience of the city from the vantage point of strolling around its neighbourhoods.
Fourteen years on, since the publishing of Stroll, the book he wrote about his walks in the city, he has retraced his steps and he's written an updated edition.
Monocle's correspondent in Toronto, Thomas Lewis, met for a stroll of their own in the Little Italy neighbourhood to ask him what had changed and what had stayed the same.
