Indonesia's new capital, Nusantara, was designed to alleviate the pressures of Jakarta's sinking problem, yet construction delays have left its future uncertain.
During the 79th Independence Day celebration at Nusantara, President Joko Widodo noted the construction setbacks and the reduced guest list from 8,000 to 1,300 due to inadequate infrastructure.
By 2050, one-third of Jakarta is projected to be submerged, emphasizing the urgent need for relocation and development of the new, environmentally conscious capital.
Critics argue the Nusantara project harms the environment and endangers wildlife, highlighting the conflict between development needs and preservation of Indigenous rights.
