  "summary": "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.",
