第一资讯站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.
英国经济学人智库8月29日公布世界最安全城市排名，日本东京在榜单中居首。该指数对各城市应对从气候灾难到网络攻击等各项事务的能力进行了排名。
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，位居第二，另一个日本大都市大阪排名第三，2015年和2017年的安全城市指数排行榜前三名也是这三个城市。
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体现“城市适应力”这一概念，即城市承受冲击并恢复的能力。
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.
在过去十年里，由于决策者担心热浪和洪水等气候变化的影响，“城市适应力”在指导城市安全规划方面起着越来越大的作用。
The index assessed four types of safety: digital, infrastructure, health and personal security.
