Singapore bags 11th place at Global Cities Index

The Lion City ranked 2nd in Asia.

Singapore climbed three ranks higher on the Schroders Global Cities Index, claiming the 11th spot in the 2020 results.

This puts the city state in the 2nd place when it comes to Asian cities. Hong Kong ranked 6th.

"Singapore is small by landmass and very efficient, hence the good transport score. Also if you take traffic data it scores well given the management of cars on the road, unlike LA. The airport data is self-explanatory showing how well connected Singapore is compared to top international rivals in the region," said Hugo Machin, co-head of global property securities at Schroders.

The Global Cities Index ranks cities based on four metrics: economic, environmental, innovation and transport. Singapore ranked 3rd in transport globally, following Zurich and Stockholm.

"Our data shows that only environmental score is low compared to other top cities, a combination of being in a very hot latitude holds them back but that is compensated by some forward thinking environmental policy to make the city more sustainable in terms of its basic needs, such as wate," Machin said.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
