Tokyo was named the world’s safest city on Thursday by the Economist Intelligence Unit, in an index ranking cities’ ability to handle everything from climate disasters to cyber attacks.
8月29日,英国经济学家智库公布了世界上最安全的城市排名,日本东京排名第一。该指数排名了城市应对从气候灾害到网络攻击的能力。
Singapore took second place after Japan’s capital while another Japanese metropolis, Osaka, came third - the same top three as the two previous Safe Cities Indexes of 2015 and 2017.
新加坡仅次于东京,排名第二,另一个日本大都市大阪排名第三,2015年和2017年安全城市指数排名前三。
This year the index of 60 cities aimed to capture the concept of “urban resilience”, which is the ability of cities to absorb and bounce back from shocks, researchers said.
研究人员表示,今年60个城市的安全指数排名旨在反映“城市适应力”这一概念,即城市承受冲击和恢复的能力。
This concept has increasingly steered urban safety planning during the last decade, as policymakers worry about the impacts of climate change, including heat stress and flooding.
在过去的十年里,决策者担心热浪和洪水等气候变化,“城市适应力”在指导城市安全规划方面发挥着越来越重要的作用。
The index assessed four types of safety: digital, infrastructure, health and personal security.
该指数评估了数字安全、基础设施安全、医疗保健和个人安全四类安全。
Asia-Pacific dominated the top 10, as in previous years, with six cities, including Australia’s Sydney in fifth place, South Korea’s Seoul in eighth and Australia’s Melbourne in 10th.
和往年一样,亚太地区的大部分城市都在前十名,其中包括悉尼(第五)、首尔(第八)和墨尔本(第十)。

Two European and two North American cities made it into the top 10, with the Dutch capital Amsterdam in fourth place while Denmark’s Copenhagen came eighth. Canada’s Toronto came sixth, and the US capital, Washington D.C., seventh.
欧洲和北美都有前十名。荷兰首都阿姆斯特丹排名第四,丹麦哥本哈根排名第八,加拿大多伦多排名第六,美国华盛顿排名第七。
The safest cities scored highly on access to high-quality healthcare, dedicated cyber-security teams, community-based police patrols and good disaster planning, researchers said.
研究人员表示,最安全的城市在获得高质量的医疗卫生服务、特殊的网络安全团队、社区警察巡逻和良好的灾害响应规划方面得分很高。
“The research highlights how different types of safety are thoroughly intertwined,” said Naka Kondo, the report’s Tokyo-based editor.
该报告在东京编辑紫户说:“这项研究突出了不同类型的安全问题是如何完全交织在一起的。”
While European cities performed well in the area of health, they struggled with digital security, in terms of citizens’ ability to freely use the internet and other digital channels without fear of privacy violations or identity theft.
尽管欧洲城市在健康安全领域表现良好,但在数字安全方面得分不高,数字安全指的是公民自由使用互联网和其他数字渠道而不担心隐私侵犯或身份盗窃。
Top-ranking cities for digital security scored high on citizen awareness of digital threats and dedicated cyber-security teams, leading to low levels of infection by computer viruses and malware.
就公民对数字威胁的意识和专门的网络安全团队而言,排名靠前的城市数字安全得分较高,导致计算机病毒感染和恶意软件植入的概率较低。
“London is the only European city in the top 10 in this category,” said Irene Mia, global editorial director of the Economist Intelligence Unit.
全球经济学家智库编辑主任艾琳·米娅说:“伦敦是欧洲唯一的十大城市之一。”
Nigeria’s Lagos, Venezuela’s Caracas, Myanmar’s Yangon, Pakistan’s Karachi and Bangladesh’s Dhaka were the world’s five least safe cities, according to the index.
尼日利亚拉各斯、委内瑞拉加拉加斯、缅甸仰光、巴基斯坦卡拉奇和孟加拉国达卡被评为世界上最不安全的五个城市。
