1. A Bold Move

In a historic decision, Indonesia has chosen Nusantara as its new capital, replacing Jakarta. The name itself, derived from Javanese, means “archipelago,” reflecting the country’s rich diversity and unity. This bold move aims to address Jakarta’s challenges—overpopulation, traffic congestion, and environmental pollution—by creating a sustainable, smart city on the island of Borneo¹.

2. Building for Tomorrow

Construction began in July 2022, with the initial phase focusing on the ‘Government Central Area zone.’ This zone will house government offices, schools, and hospitals. Nusantara’s design emphasizes green spaces, strict environmental standards, and universal access. Over 75% of the governmental zone will remain green, ensuring residents can easily reach recreational sites within 10 minutes².

3. A Vision Realized

As Nusantara takes shape, it promises a brighter future. By 2045, the city will achieve remarkable milestones:

• Energy Independence: Renewable energy will power Nusantara entirely.
• High Livability: It aims to be among the top 10 cities globally according to the Global Livability Index.
• Inclusive Infrastructure: Critical services will be accessible to all residents.
• Economic Prosperity: A GDP per capita comparable to high-income countries.
• Reduced Inequality: The lowest regional Gini Ratio in Indonesia².

4. Looking Ahead

As the final phase completes in 2045, Nusantara will stand as a testament to Indonesia’s vision. Its lush greenery, efficient infrastructure, and digital connectivity will inspire generations. The journey from Jakarta to Nusantara—a leap across 800 miles—symbolizes progress, resilience, and hope for a better tomorrow³. Let us celebrate this audacious endeavor and embrace the dawn of Nusantara! 🌟🇮🇩
