The Economist Intelligence Unit recently released the 2019 Safe City Index (SCI) report, which ranks 60 major cities around the world based on 57 indicators, including digital security, health and safety. There are four categories of infrastructure security and personal security. In addition to social security, the index measures safety in many aspects.
Since the release of the index, Tokyo has topped the list for three consecutive times, and this year's Asia-Pacific cities are still very eye-catching, with six of the top 10: Singapore (No. 2), Osaka (No. 3), Sydney (5th place), Seoul (8th place) and Melbourne (10th place); two European cities, Amsterdam (4th place) and Copenhagen (8th place); North America's top 10 are Toronto (6th place) and Washington, DC (7th place), Toronto ranks first in the safest city in North America.
The Hong Kong ranking has fallen sharply from the ninth place two years ago by 11 places, ranking 20th this year. Taipei ranks 22nd, the same as the ranking two years ago. Beijing and Shanghai ranked 31st and 32nd respectively.
The report points out that North American cities tend to score higher in the digital security category. Of the top 10 in this category, 7 are North American cities. Canadian cities are superior to American cities in terms of personal security.
