Indonesia's New Capital Nusantara Faces Uncertain Future Amidst Slow Progress

Indonesia's ambitious new capital, Nusantara, envisioned as a green, 10-minute city on Borneo, faces an uncertain future three years after construction began. Despite plans for a swift relocation of civil servants and a focus on sustainable transport, only a fraction have moved, and essential services like water supply remain in doubt. While some residents see themselves as pioneers of a new urban life, critics label it a 'ghost city' due to its sparse population and limited amenities, though it attracts tourists.
