Safest Cities in the World 2024​

Whether travelling abroad or starting a new life in a new country, finding a safe and secure destination helps relieve any stress or uncertainty. The level of safety and security, of course, varies from country to country and city to city.

To measure a country’s safety, the Global Peace Index is used. To measure a city’s safety, the Economist Intelligence Unit’s Safe Cities Index (SCI) is used. The SCI ranked 60 destinations around the world across 57 indicators covering their digital security, health security, infrastructure, and personal safety. Based on this, cities are given a score between 0 and 100.

This report is important because 56% of humans live in cities. By 2050, it is estimated that 68% of people will live in cities. Growth of cities will be inevitable over the years, and urban management will be essential in defining the quality of life for the increasing population of humanity living in cities.

An important factor in successful urban management is the city’s ability to provide a safe and secure environment for its residents, businesses, and visitors.

The ten safest cities in the world are:
  1. Tokyo, Japan (92.0)
  2. Singapore (91.5)
  3. Osaka, Japan (90.9)
  4. Amsterdam, The Netherlands (88.0)
  5. Sydney, Australia (87.9)
  6. Toronto, Canada (87.8)
  7. Washington, D.C., United States (87.6)
  8. Copenhagen, Denmark (87.4)
  9. Seoul, South Korea (87.4)
  10. Melbourne, Australia (87.3)
According to the SCI, Tokyo, Japan is the safest city in the world with a score of 92. Following closely is Singapore with a score of 91.5 and Osaka with a score of 90.9. Singapore ranked first in infrastructure security and personal security, while Tokyo ranked first for digital security and Osaka ranked first for health security.

Asia-Pacific cities make up six of the top ten safest countries on the list; however, a city’s geographic region does not have a statistical link with its safety and security. Tokyo, Singapore, and Osaka lead in safety not because they are in Asia, but because of their individual strengths in each of the categories.
There is, however, a correlation between high income and a safer city. Those cities with higher average incomes reflected that wealth through investment in better healthcare systems and quality infrastructure. Cities at the bottom of the list tend to be located in developing nations. Additionally, there is a correlation between fair, accountable governments

The SCI results are not evenly distributed, with a large number of cities clustered at the top score, meaning that the top cities are more similar to one another than to those ranked lower. The top 24 safest cities are separated by only 10 points.

At the bottom of the list are Lagos in Nigeria, Caracas in Venezuela, Yangon in Myanmar, Karachi in Pakistan, and Dhaka in Bangladesh.

No chance London is the safest city in the UK.

I'd query some of the US cities too.

Obviously its results based on certain criteria, but not sure their methodology gives results that meet my definition of "safest".

For example I'm not sure any city where any lunatic can own a gun (and many do) should be high up on that list.

I don't think this includes cities other than London from the UK. It looks like all of the European entries are only one city, and I can only see one Indian city for example.

The report itself is a bit hefty, and that link didn't work for me. I downloaded it from my Economist account. The methodology is explained, including some definition of the 57 factors used to build up the index, and the 5 or so 'facets' the authors are collecting data around. I can't see anything about weightings (eg in your example, how is gun ownership weighted?). Normally with Economist reports the authors can be contacted, and there would have been a discussion (probably subscribers only) when it was released.

If Washington DC is number 7 then either things have improved or the ratings are pretty meaningless. Working there once and checking into the hotel (quite posh), the reception spiel - breakfast is served at, elevators are over there, etc. - included the somewhat disconcerting injunction 'when you leave the hotel, turn left, never turn right. Turn left, never turn right.'
 
I don’t think they are treading a fine line. I think they’re an inherently racist political organisation aided and abetted by an inherently racist media set. How many more times do they have to be racist for it to be called out as it is. They are racist scum. They’ve been racist scum all my life. It should be called out at single opportunity.

LA is pretty rough too. Plenty of no go zones due to gangs etc.

My mate was working out there and I stayed with him for a bit, but he was working during the day so was left to my own devices till he finished. He was very clear on where I shouldn't be getting off the bus.

Think he got on the wrong bus once and ended up somewhere an English white lad really shouldn't have been. Was pretty terrified from the sounds of it!
 
Tweets from that @Conservatives account keep popping up on my feed but they are so ridiculous I thought they must be a crank or parody account but it seems it is the torys official account after all. How low they have dragged this country.
 
Their mew buzz phrase in relation to labour taxing private education companies is to call it "labours education tax" expect it to be rolled out on every interview
