Safe Cities Index 2021
- theandrewbailey 5y agoWow, scrolljack much? As for the list itself, this uses a very... odd definition of safe. Their Urban Safety Benchmarking Tool asks: > Does the city have smart city plan that explicitly focuses on the cybersecurity of the smart city > What percentage of the city's population has access to the internet > How many doctors (per 1,000 population) does the city have > What is the average life expectancy of the population in the city > What covid-19 mortality rate (per 10,000 population) in the city > Does the city have a disaster emergency management/city business community plan in place and, if so, how adaptive and effective is it > Is disaster risk included and accounted for in active state-or-city-level urban planning and design > What percentage of GDP is spent on social assistance programs > How prevalent is violent crime in the city > Does the city masterplan outline specific measures for sustainable growth of the urban centre > What is the average annual concentration of PM 2.5 > What is the percentage of tree cover within the city Of which, 1, maybe 2, factors into most people's definition of a safe city.
