Change is never easy. But sometimes, it’s necessary. This month’s

features reveal just how varied and visceral the challenges of change

can be. In Cairo, (see Page 42) we witness the physical costs of

transformation, where roads now run through the historic heart of

the City of the Dead – a place where life, death and heritage once coexisted. In

India, the challenge is scale. On Page 34, we consider whether the economic

expansion that’s lifting millions out of poverty in India can do so without tipping

the planet further into crisis? Mark Rowe’s investigation asks whether one of

the world’s fastest-growing economy’s can also be a green one. Meanwhile,

on Page 24, in Syria, writer Leon McCarron returns to a country still reckoning

with the wreckage of dictatorship and war.
