1. The Economist Intelligence Unit has released the fourth version of its Safe Cities Index (SCI), which ranks 60 cities around the world on their safety — and the top of this year’s list is very different from last year’s.
2. The SCI ranks cities in five categories: digital security, health security, personal security, infrastructure security — and a new category for 2021, environmental security.

(1) Do you find it surprising that Copenhagen was ranked the safest city in the world for 2021? Why? Why not?

(2)Would you describe your town or city as a safe place to live? Why? Why not?

3.[responsivevoice voice = "US English Female" buttontext = ""]This year, Copenhagen, Denmark, was ranked the safest city in the world, with 82.4 points out of 100 — the first time for the Danish capital to be at the top of the list. It was the world’s top city for personal security, and third for both digital and infrastructure security.

4. Toronto, Canada, was a very close second with 82.2 points. It was second in the world for environmental security — behind Wellington, New Zealand — and fourth for infrastructure.

5. In all three previous versions of the SCI, Tokyo, Singapore and Osaka were given the top three positions, in that order. But this year Tokyo was fifth, Singapore was third and Osaka was a much lower 17th.
6. According to CNN, the big changes at the top of the list may be connected to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, Tokyo and Singapore were still ranked first and second for health security, with Osaka fifth behind Hong Kong and Melbourne, Australia.
