“Indonesia should move the capital Jakarta. But where is not decided yet.”
“President Joko Widodo justified his decision at a cabinet meeting:”
“– We want to think about the visionary for the development of this country. To move the capital will require thorough and detailed preparation.”

“Only the traffic congestion in Jakarta costs annually an estimated 67 billion, according to the am plannning Bambang Brodjonegoro.”
“the Megacity is low-lying and exposed to flooding. The drops also because of överutvinning of groundwater.”
“To move to Jakarta from the main island of Java can take up to ten years, according to the minister. Previously the city of Palangkaraya on the island of Borneo mentioned as a candidate for the new capital.”
