Singapore received positive ratings in architecture and design, and innovative retail stores in a new report.
Weber Shandwick’s “Engaging Cities” report said this highlight the importance the city has placed on creating an exciting shopping experience in the midst of a densely populated residential environment.
“Along with its good reputation as a centre for academic research and tertiary education and comparable strengths in sport and leisure infrastructure when mapped against other cities in our report, its soft power appeal makes it an attractive place to live and visit for young and old alike.”
In the report, soft power attributes delves in 16 areas which include standard of living, sustainability, architecture and design, education and research, music, and gender tolerance.
Of all the cities in the region, Singapore is recognised most for its innovative approach to sustainability and the environment. The report noted as a small, sovereign city-state, it has the opportunity to create a consistent experience for residents and visitors alike.
The “Engaging Cities” report is based on extensive original research, including both a multi-city survey and interviews with a wide range of experts, and covers eight cities; Bangkok, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo.
