FIND OUT MORE PREVIOUS What does safe” mean? The Safe Cities Index was first launched in 2015 with 44 indicators and 50 cities. Since then, the index has been updated once every two years, increasing city coverage as well as strengthening the framework to include emerging challenges to urban safety. In 2021, the framework has been further updated to reflect the dynamic nature of the urban safety landscape with a special focus on the pandemic impact. It has also introduced a brand new pillar: environmental security. NEXT PREVIOUS 76 Sub indicators across 5 pillars The Safe Cities Index is a global, policy benchmarking tool developed to measure urban safety. Our index score draws on 76 distinct factors across five broad pillars: personal, infrastructure, health, digital and environmental security. Within each pillar, the relevant indicators are grouped into inputs of safety — such as policies or personnel dedicated to some aspect of security — and outputs — anything from air pollution levels to crime rates." NEXT For more details on the safety factors and what’s included in the 2019 index: [Access the whitepaper]PREVIOUS Current state and future preparedness In short, outputs measure how safe a city currently is, while the inputs indicate which cities are doing the right things to enhance security. Both are essential to understanding the security situation." NEXT PREVIOUS Reflective of external environment Any index that measures over time needs to evolve along with the field it covers. Increasing number of urban governments are reshaping their approach to include low-frequency, high risk events, whether involving pandemics, acute disasters or longer-term threats, notably climate change and chronic social stresses. NEXT For more details on the safety factors and what’s included in the 2019 index: [Access the whitepaper]PREVIOUS Incorporating environmental security Many cities are moving towards planning based around ’sustainability’ — a concept which moves away from purely after-the-fact response (grow now and green later) to include system-wide preparedness to climate risks. The 2021 index has established for the first time a standalone pillar measuring environmental security, taking into account policy inputs aimed at improving the health of the natural and physical environment in urban areas, and output indicators such as urban tree cover and the rate of water stress in cities.
