Indonesia’s $33BN New Capital City

Indonesia is relocating its capital away from Jakarta to a 33 billion dollar planned city on the island of Borneo. Called Nusantara, the new capital will cover 562 square kilometers and will be a digital city of the future in the jungle, with a population of 2 million. It will help shift the burden away from Jakarta and will better represent the Indonesian archipelago, but will displace thousands and impact the environment.
