Indonesia replaces sinking Jakarta with new capital city Nusantara

The Indonesian Parliament has passed a law to relocate the country’s capital from Jakarta to Nusantara. The initial relocation will start between 2022 and 2024.

In the next decade, the government centre will be relocated and by 2045, the vision of ‘World City for All” will be realised. The plan was formulated as Jakarta is prone to flooding amid climate change. The sinking megacity also suffers from chronic congestion and air pollution.
