A New Capital for Indonesia<br />
President Joko Widodo recently decided to move Jakarta, Indonesia’s capital city, to a new location. The<br />
location has not yet been decided, but it will most likely be off of the country’s main island of Java.<br />
The move is being planned because of struggles<br />
with pollution, traffic gridlock, and that the city is rapidly<br />
sinking with almost half of its area currently below<br />
sea level. It is predicted that 95% of North Jakarta will<br />
be submerged by 2050. With a population of over 140<br />
million people, the city is over-crowded and the capital<br />
moving should bring some relief.<br />
This will be a massive project that could take up<br />
to 10 years, according to the planning <strong>min</strong>ister. With<br />
proper planning and implementation, this could be a<br />
huge success for the country. Another perk is the opportunity<br />
for our GEM Mover, Kelly’s Express. We know<br />
this will bring them many embassy, home, and business<br />
relocations.<br />
