\nThe ranking means Singapore received perfect scores for their continuity management plans, institutional capacity, disaster-risk informed development and pedestrian friendliness.
\nSingapore has been ranked as the second safest city in the world by the Economist Intelligence Unit\u2019s (EIU) Safe Cities Index.
\nTokyo holds the title as the safest city for the third straight time while Osaka ranked third. Six Asia Pacific (APAC) cities placed in the top ten, including Melbourne (10th), Seoul (8th) and Sydney (5th), reported Singapore Business Review.
\nThe ranking means Singapore received perfect scores for their continuity management plans, institutional capacity, disaster-risk informed development and pedestrian friendliness.
\nIt also indicates that the city-state possesses strong personal security inputs characterised by policing that has high-levels of community-based patrolling and engagement as well as the use of data-driven techniques.
\nDespite ranking only 8th for the health security list, Singapore topped the sub-rankings for personal security and infrastructure safety and placed second in digital security.
\nThe city-state is also noted to have low infection levels of computer malware and viruses and is known to offer high quality and easy access to safe food, water and air, prompt emergency services and healthcare.
\nAccording to the report, APAC cities are generally known to perform well across the categories of infrastructure security, personal security and health security. However, North American cities fare better in digital security, garnering seven of the top ten spots in the category.
\n\u201cOur research shows that a city\u2019s region does not have any statistically significant relationship with its performance [in the study],\u201d said Naka Kondo, senior editor of EIU.
\n\u201cAlthough APAC cities such as Tokyo, Singapore and Osaka continue to rank within the top three cities in the Index, the region also hosts some of the lowest scoring cities in the world, with Yangon, Karachi and Dhaka close to the bottom of the list.\u201d
