Cities in the Asia-Pacific region make up 6 of the world's 10 safest cities
which ranks 60 cities across 57 indicators covering digital security, health security, infrastructure security and personal security. As it has in previous editions, Tokyo had the highest overall score in this year's index - 92 out of 100. The Japanese capital has a broad array of strengths such as infrastructure designed to withstand catastrophic events, low levels of violent and petty crime as well as a low risk of computer malware.
Cities in the Asia-Pacific region make up six of the top-10 safest cities in the index with Singapore , Osaka , Sydney , Seoul and Melbourne all present. Importantly, safety levels in different cities are not linked to global regions. Rather, cities such as Tokyo, Singapore and Osaka lead because of their specific strengths rather than the simple fact that they are located in Asia. U.S. cities generally lag behind in most safety metrics with Washington D.C. and Chicago making the top-10.
