It's been more than two years since President Joko Widodo announced that the capital city of Indonesia would move from Jakarta to East Kalimantan. Relocating the capital city is a monumental event, so it requires long and thorough preparations. Unfortunately and inevitably, these preparations were slightly hampered by the ongoing pandemic. Some of the preparations include but are not limited to the development of infrastructure, the environment, as well as the people, those who are now citizens and those who will later move to the New Capital City (NCC). Currently, around 100,000 people are living in East Kalimantan. This number is expected to jump to 700,000 by 2025 and to 1.5 million by 2035.
