\nOutReach<\/a>\u00a0– 23 August 2021 – The Economist Intelligence
\nUnit (The EIU) today releases the fourth edition of the Safe Cities
\nIndex (SCI)<\/b><\/a>. The index, which is the centre
\npiece of a research project sponsored by NEC Corporation, ranks 60 cities
\nworldwide across five continents. It measures the multifaceted nature of urban
\nsafety, with 76 indicators organised along five pillars: personal, health,
\ninfrastructure, digital, and \u2013 new this year \u2013 environmental security. <\/p>\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\neach of the last three iterations, Tokyo, Singapore and Osaka \u2013 always in that
\norder \u2013 have been our index leaders. This year Copenhagen comes first, with
\n82.4 points out of 100, and Toronto follows close behind with 82.2. This change
\nreflects not a tectonic shift but more a reordering among cities that have
\nalways come close to the top. In all four editions of our index, six cities \u2013
\nAmsterdam, Melbourne, Tokyo, Toronto, Singapore and Sydney \u2013 have all figured
\namong the leading ten, with only a few points separating them. <\/p>\n

\nthe first global pandemic to strike humanity since we became a predominantly
\nurban species. Experts have told us covid-19 has changed the whole concept of
\nurban safety. Digital security is now an even higher priority as more work and
\ncommerce have moved online; those responsible for infrastructure safety have to
\nadjust to dramatic changes in travel patterns and where residents consume
\nutilities; agencies responsible for personal security need to address a large,
\nlockdown-driven shift in crime patterns; and the priority that urban residents
\nand officials assign to environmental security has risen markedly as covid-19
\nserves as a stark warning of unexpected crises.” <\/i>\u00a0<\/i>
\n
<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\nindex framework has been subjected to an extensive reevaluation and has
\nundergone significant changes, including updates to existing indicators,
\nupdates to scoring methodology, addition of new indicators under existing
\ndomains and the addition of a new domain to the framework.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\nintroduction of the new pillar for environmental security in this year’s index
\nreflects the increased importance of sustainability issues and climate
\nadaptation measures amid the pandemic. Toronto and Copenhagen performed
\nnoticeably better in the new environmental security pillar than do any of the
\ntop-three cities from earlier years. Interestingly, the index also shows that
\nleading middle-income cities do far better in this area than in any other
\ncategories. In particular, three at this income level finish in the pillar’s
\ntop ten: Bogota (4th); Rio de Janeiro (8th); and Kuala Lumpur (10th). <\/p>\n
