Indonesia's New Capital: An Ambitious Vision

Indonesia is embarking on a monumental project to establish a new capital city, Nusantara, as a solution to the challenges faced by Jakarta. The current capital suffers from severe congestion, pollution, and sinking due to rising sea levels, compelling the government to take action to relocate the nation's administrative center. Former President Jokowi emphasizes that Nusantara is more than just a relocation; it's a chance to create a green, high-tech city designed for efficiency and sustainability. He envisions a smart city with minimal reliance on cars, highlighting plans for a public transportation system and a focus on environmental conservation.
