Singapore is still Asia's top ranked city for quality of living but where's the improvement?

SINGAPORE (Mar 20): Singapore has once again bagged the title of Asia’s highest ranked city in terms of quality of living over the past 12 months, based on findings from Mercer’s 20th edition of its Quality of Living survey.

At the 25th place globally, the city state stayed ahead of other premier business centres in Asia such as Tokyo (50th) and Hong Kong (71st) – but remains behind its European peers Vienna, which tops the ranking for the ninth year running, and Zurich at second place.

European cities’ overall high quality of living comes in spite of ongoing economic volatility in the region due to increased regional political instability and uncertainty over issues such as Brexit, notes Mercer in a press release on Tuesday.
