Jakarta is predicted to sink in 2050, due to continuous flooding and the land surface continuing to sink. Faced with these obstacles, the government has decided to move the capital city to the island of Kalimantan, precisely in Penajam Paser Utara and Kutai Kertanegara Regencies. The government of President Joko Widodo promises a modern, environmentally friendly and sustainable city through a design themed 'Nagara Rimba Nusa', designed by the Urban+ architect team. The project is worth IDR 476.5 trillion and is targeted for completion in 2025. However, there is a lot of homework that the government must complete before moving the new capital city. Some of these include the former coal mining pits that are now 'death traps' for children, the welfare of indigenous peoples, the issue of customary land ownership certificates and environmental conflicts, such as illegal logging, forest fires and protection of endangered orangutans. The government promises not to repeat the same mistakes in the new capital city. However, can this be done without sacrificing the forests of Kalimantan?
