Indonesia is relocating its capital city. With a budget of $33 billion they plan to build a futuristic and sustainable city. Construction is in full swing with the first district opening later this year. In today’s video, we’re going to look at how Indonesia is carving a brand new megacity out of the jungle and why this is not only beneficial but also problematic.

    Is Nusantara a good solution for their current situation?👇🤔
  • @xfoxvirtue7580
    I live in West Kalimantan, Kalimantan is far behind the other islands in Indonesia because the development mostly occurs in Java island. The governments take our resources and brings most of the money to build Java. We want our future too, we also lacked in public transportation like bus to go anywhere in our city so we have to use our own vehicles and it makes traffic jam and the underdeveloped roads make it worse. Even my hometown which is only 2 hours from the capital city of West Kalimantan doesn't has electricity yet so we have to use generator and the road hasn't been tarmaced ! So I really hope our new Capital City wont just be the central government, but also a lot of investment for the transportation, roads, living quality, new cities, etc for the Kalimantan people.

    Of course very helpful. Reducing the burden on Jakarta makes it easier to repair and becomes an example for building a city well
  • @aye3678
    Indonesia is beautiful. I hope this project becomes a success.

    Pemindahan Ibu Kota Indonesia sudah direncanakan sejak lama, Karena Kondisi Jakarta sangat tidak stabil. Jakarta terlalu padat, kumuh, banjir, macet, transportasi publik buruk, dst. Namun baru sekarang bisa dilakukan karena Indonesia selama ini adalah negara miskin (tidak punya uang) Sejak tahun 2005 hingga sekarang pertumbuhan ekonomi Indonesia terus membaik dan tumbuh ekponesial Sehingga inilah momen yang tepat untuk memindahkan Ibu Kota (Karena sudah mulai punya uang) Mengapa memilih Nusantara, area hutan kosong untuk menjadi lokasinya? Ide pertama pindah saja ke kota yang sudah ada seperti "Balikpapan/Samarinda/Makasar" yang lokasinya ditengah Indonesia dan aman dari ancaman gempa/letusan gunung. Tetapi akan sulit membangun area vital seperti pusat pertahanan dan lokasi strategis lainnya sebagai pusat simbol negara besar. Sehingga lebih baik memilih area kosong/hutan dan dibangun semua dari awal. "Apakah ini mungkin sukses?." Jika mengacu atas pertumbuhan ekonomi negara kami yang sangat ekponesial dari tahun 2005 hingga sekarang, maka Pemindahan Ibu Kota ini akan sukses karena kami punya sumber daya lebih dari cukup untuk ini. semoga saja.

    there's something wrong with the map at 3:36 it was the former map of east kalimantan which is now split into a new province of north kalimantan and east kalimantan as per 2012

    Just want to add that the "jungle" has already cut down decade ago to make way for tree plantion (similar to palm plantion instead it's producing timber), now they are replacing it for a forest city concept which is technically reforestation? I hope the plan came through as it much more humane than most of cities in North America and new cities in Middle East, those very high towers and relient on cars is not good for well being of the people

    I'm Indonesian, for me this project is really needed. This is the first step to equalize development throughout Indonesia. And regarding the problems in this development, I have to say, there is no big plan without sacrifice. And in the vastness of Indonesia, there will definitely be sacrifices, we cannot please everyone, only Indonesia's progress is the most important. Reflecting on Indonesia's past experiences, we have also gone through several sacrifices, even a lot of blood was shed for the progress and unity of this nation, outsiders should not interfere too much in Indonesian affairs.
  • Thank you for your enthusiasm, foreign media crews, for providing information on the development of the Indonesian IKN archipelago and keep up the enthusiasm👍
  • @TrojanYTX
    This man has been just improving with every video man, keep it up!!! 🔥🔥🔥
  • @reezalrosli3104
    I feel so proud watching this. And im not even Indonesian! Much respect and support from a Malaysian. Semoga impian orang Indonesia dicapai!
  • Im Malaysian from borneo island im so proud of this new capital of Indonesia build in the Borneo island majulah kepulauan borneo bersama2👍👍
  • @kutubukusekali
    The city was carefully planned. Learning from experiences, this city will develop following the rules of a quality city. With good connectivity with other cities and good and thorough planning, this city will not become a ghost town. Even though Indonesia still has various shortcomings, experience shows that Indonesia is able to solve its problems one by one, including in developing IKN.
  • @riaanjani3343
    yes it is. I live in east borneo, also next to nusantara. I went to a lot of villages in east and north borneo, and have a lot of conversation with any of indegenious people here. yes they all need some changes to development. and this nusantara was a huge chance for us. we do contribute a lot of things to build this city.
