Copenhagen, Oviedo and Ljubljiana are the cities in Europe where people are feeling safer walking alone at night, while Rome, Athens and Marseille are the ones in which the sense of safety at night is lower. The Report on the Quality of Life in European Cities 2023 highlights how smaller cities are perceived as better places at night. Great to see some of the partners of Cities After Dark, the URBACT network on night-time economy that I'm guiding as lead expert, with higher scores in terms of safety perception: 80% or more of the residents in Braga and Malaga feel safe in walking alone at night, a figure positively deviating from regional trends seeing cities in Southern Europe less safe than the ones in Northern Europe
