Hong Kong is eighth safest city in world overall, but ranks badly when it comes to personal and environmental security

Hong Kong is the eighth safest city in the world but does badly when it comes to personal and environmental security, according to a new set of rankings released by The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU).

The Safe Cities Index, which grades the world’s metropolitan areas on a variety of factors, placed Hong Kong 20th in its previous rankings in 2019, which were compiled before the anti-government protests that year.
