Southeast Asian city ranks among world's top 3 for quality of life
The city state of Singapore ranks third globally for quality of life in the 2026 Global Cities Index by Oxford Economics, a U.K.-based independent economic research and consulting firm.
Singapore has been ranked among the top three cities in the world for quality of life, according to a report by Oxford Economics. The city scored 91.6 out of 100, behind Norway's Bergen with 94.3 and Australia's Canberra, which topped the list with a perfect score of 100. The report cites Singapore's high incomes and low crime rates as contributing factors, along with its excellent healthcare system, which has resulted in a life expectancy among the best in the rankings. However, the city is weighed down by high housing costs due to limited land availability.
