Why Indonesia moved its capital to a jungle hundreds of miles away
Briefly

Moving from Jakarta to Nusantara is essential as parts of the metropolis are predicted to be uninhabitable by 2030 due to severe flooding and sinking.
Jokowi will celebrate Independence Day in Nusantara, marking a historic moment for Indonesia as it transitions to a new capital amid urgent environmental challenges.
The relocation is about more than geography; it's imperative for addressing Jakarta's heavy traffic, pollution, and rapid population growth straining resources.
Indonesia aims to transform its economy and aspire towards developed nation status, making this move critical for the future of the country.
