For 10 years in a row, it has been named the best city in the world for expats by the London-based advisory firm ECA, garnering high marks for its superior roads and airport, health care, low crime and decent air quality. The government makes an effort to retain foreign knowledge workers, who are viewed as vital to the health of Singapore's small but highly competitive economy.
