JAKARTA: Ridwan Kamil, the curator of the new capital city Nusantara , announced that the core area, comparable in size to Jakarta’s National Monument , is expected to be completed by August.
“When we say ‘completed,’ we refer to the presidential palace and surrounding buildings. It’s important not to misunderstand; while the core area will be ready, the entire development will take decades,” the former West Java Governor said.He encouraged the public to visit the site to witness the development firsthand. “Consuming news alone is different from seeing it for yourself. That’s why we say, ‘seeing is believing,’” he added.
Kamil noted that the Public Works and Public Housing Ministry is currently working on connecting the water supply from a nearby lake. He explained that supplying water to the core area will take time, estimating completion within a month. “The water is already in the lake, but the piping system needs time,” he explained.
