>Jakarta's primary challenges include;
rapid urban growth, ecological breakdown, gridlocked traffic, congestion, and flooding.
Jakarta is sinking up to 17 cm (6.7 inches) per year;
which, coupled with the rising of sea levels, has made the city more prone to flooding.
It is one of the fastest-sinking capitals in the world.
Because of these challenges, in August 2019, President Joko Widodo announced that the capital of Indonesia;
would be moved from Jakarta to the planned city of Nusantara, in the province of East Kalimantan on the island of Borneo.<
