Singapore now more liveable than Hong Kong
Singapore beat its rival in the liveability ranking for the first time.
Singapore has become more liveable than Hong Kong according to the latest findings of The Economist Intelligence Unit's Global Liveability Ranking.
Survey editor Jon Copestake said Singapore's jump up the rankings can be attributed to consistent and impressive improvements in educational attainment, which has delivered a perfect score for education and pushed the overall score for the city-state above 90% for the first time since the survey began.
The Lion City rose 11 places to 35th in the ranking which provides scores for lifestyle challenges in 140 cities worldwide.
This is Singapore's highest ever position in the global ranking. It is also the first time in the history of the ranking that Singapore features above Hong Kong, which fell two places into 45th place, despite an unchanged score.
"However it is worth remembering that, although ten ranking places now separate Hong Kong and Singapore the difference between them is marginal at just 1.6% and both comfortably sit in the top tier of liveability where there are few, if any, challenges to lifestyle," Copestake said.
