The big move - Jakartas Flucht vor dem Wasser 2022
Indonesia is planning to move its capital from Jakarta in Java to a new city in East Kalimantan on the island of Borneo. The move is in part to relieve pressure on traffic-clogged Jakarta, which is sinking, polluted and crowded.
A new capital city would also be a way of symbolically centralising the government, which is seen as being too Java-centric.
