Legacy, Lives and Landscape: The tales of Nusantara

Building a new capital city in the middle of rainforests of East Kalimantan will be Jokowi’s largest legacy when his tenure ends next year. The new state palace, in the form of the state symbol Garuda Pancasila, has started to take shape on top of the hill, surrounded by other buildings and facilities supporting the future city. Some rejoiced with the arrival of Nusantara, which is hailed as the beacon of national economic development. They greet the construction of the new city by opening new sources of livelihoods, such as restaurants and guest houses.
