Nusantara

Future capital of Indonesia

Nusantara, officially Nusantara Capital City, is a city under construction that, upon completion, is planned to be the capital city of Indonesia. It occupies land in the East Kalimantan regencies of Penajam North Paser and Kutai Kartanegara on the east coast of the island of Borneo. Nusantara is planned to be its own national capital region at the provincial level, replacing Jakarta to save the city from overpopulation and land sinking. Nusantara is adjacent to the port city of Balikpapan, which serves as the main gateway to the new capital.
