Will Indonesia’s new capital Nusantara pave the way for sustainable future cities? Find out in this conversation with Ridwan Kamil!
As cities around the world grapple with the realities of climate change, Nusantara proposes a new kind of urbanism: it promises to be a net-zero-carbon forest city that seamlessly merges the natural and the built.
While the ambition is commendable, its realisation is certainly going to be far from easy.
In this new episode, we speak with architect, urbanist, politician, and the Development Curator of Nusantara (also known as Ibu Kota Nusantara or IKN), Ridwan Kamil, about:
1️⃣ Why Indonesia needs a new capital city;
2️⃣ What sets Nusantara apart from other cities;
3️⃣ How it will avoid the deficiencies of some past planned cities;
4️⃣ What Nusantara might offer to citizens and investors, considering it can take decades for the city’s full vision to truly be realised;
And much more.
