A different angle.
A clearer picture.

The Side Street is a publication by upform.work, exploring the economy, trading, politics and artificial intelligence.

We are interested in the connections: how policy reaches markets, how technology changes work, and how large decisions affect everyday life. Our outlook is global, with a base in Dubai.

Four desks. One curiosity.

Economy follows the forces shaping businesses and households. Trading explores markets and risk. Politics examines institutions, policy and public decisions. AI looks at the technologies changing how people live and work.

Built for the reader.

We separate news from analysis and opinion, identify our sources and correct errors transparently. Our launch edition begins with educational explainers; it is not presented as a live breaking-news service.
