Construction of Indonesia’s New Capital to Begin in 2021

June 24, 2020, 10.17 PM

Goodbye Jakarta

During his first term, President Jokowi made the official announcement of moving Indonesia’s capital city to East Kalimantan in August 2019.

Jokowi offered five reasons behind the groundbreaking plans.

  1. Minimal risk of natural disasters
  2. Strategic location
  3. Close proximity to developed cities
  4. Adequate infrastructure
  5. Government-owned land of 180,000 hectares

Positioning Indonesia’s new capital in Kalimantan is part of Jokowi’s plans to accomplish more equitable growth.

Jakarta and the Java islands overly dominate the country in terms of population density and economic contribution.

Thus the need to position Indonesia’s new capital outside of Java, according to Jokowi.
