The Safe Cities Index 2019 is a report from The Economist Intelligence Unit that ranks 60 cities on various security indicators for traveling. The four key categories used for the ranking are digital, infrastructure, health and personal security.
This year, however, a factor termed ‘urban resilience’ has been looked at while collating the ranks. This measures a city’s capability to recover from natural or man-made shocks and disasters.
