⁣Indonesia Needs More Than One New Capital. It Needs Six New Master-Planned Cities

By Jamie McIntyre, Founder of LUX Property Group and Chief Editor of the Australian National Review

Indonesia stands at one of the most exciting moments in its modern history.

The construction of Nusantara, Indonesia’s new capital city, represents far more than the relocation of government offices. It demonstrates what is possible when long-term planning replaces decades of unstructured urban growth.

Following my recent Australian National Review special report from Nusantara, which received widespread attention across Indonesian media, one conclusion became increasingly clear: Indonesia should not stop with one new master-planned city.

It should build at least six.

As Founder of LUX Property Group, our company remains committed to completing our current projects across Bali before expanding our primary development focus elsewhere in Indonesia. Bali has been an extraordinary success story and will continue to be one of the world’s premier tourism destinations.

However, success creates its own challenges.

Bali is reaching practical limits on future expansion. Demand from international visitors and investors continues to accelerate, yet the island deliberately restricts high-rise construction to preserve its unique culture and landscape. This policy has protected Bali’s character and should be respected.

The result, however, is simple economics.

More people want to live, invest and holiday in Bali than the island can comfortably accommodate.

Road congestion continues to worsen, land becomes increasingly scarce, and property prices continue rising. While these trends benefit many existing landowners and businesses, they also highlight the need for Indonesia to create new destinations rather than expecting Bali to absorb unlimited future growth.

With a national population approaching 280 million people and the greater Jakarta metropolitan region now home to approximately 41.9 million people, Indonesia has both the scale and the economic potential to support multiple world-class master-planned cities.

Nusantara is the first.

LUX Property Group believes Indonesia should now begin planning at least four additional strategically located cities, each designed to eventually accommodate between 1.5 and 2 million residents while serving as regional economic hubs.

Our own planned mixed-use development in South Lombok, Nesara Bay City, which is currently progressing through final planning approvals expected later this year, represents one example of how carefully planned communities can support tourism, business, education, healthcare and lifestyle in a sustainable way.

Rather than allowing cities to evolve without long-term planning, Indonesia has an opportunity to create communities built around modern infrastructure from day one.

These cities should feature:

• Wide boulevards and efficient road networks.
• Extensive parks and green corridors.
• Reliable public transport.
• Smart city technology.
• Sustainable energy systems.
• Water recycling infrastructure.
• Mixed residential, commercial and tourism precincts.
• Convention and exhibition facilities.
• Universities and research centres.
• International hospitals.
• Walkable town centres.
• Protected natural environments.

Indonesia’s geography provides numerous opportunities to distribute future population growth more evenly throughout the archipelago rather than concentrating economic activity into only a handful of metropolitan areas.

⁣President Trump just obliterated NATO, basically calling them freeloaders who barely deserve his presence if it weren't for Turkey

"ITALY turned us down. GERMANY turned us down. FRANCE turned us down."

"We WEREN'T TREATED WELL."

"I was VERY disappointed with NATO. Frankly? If it weren't held in Turkey...it's possible I would NOT have attended [NATO]. I felt I had to because [Erdogan] has gone all out."

"In a way, I was testing people!"

"Why are we spending hundreds of billions of dollars, they weren't there for us, we've been there for them."

"We protect European countries...you'd THINK they'd be very willing to do something to help us. And they REALLY WEREN'T."

⁣NATO chief pig Mark Rutte:

We need the capabilities now to ensure we remain ready.

Russia is putting almost half of its national budget into its war machine. Can you imagine? Almost 50% of what Russia spends is put into the war machine.

Its defense industry is working around the clock. And not only the defense industry — also the rest of the industrial base in Russia is supporting the war effort.

China continues to modernize its armed forces and expand its nuclear capabilities without transparency.

North Korea continues to expand its nuclear program and supply to Russia.

While recent action has significantly degraded Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile programs, we must remain vigilant.

These countries are increasingly working together. And that should concern us all, because I assure you, they do not have our best interests in mind.

⁣U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that it conducted a wave of airstrikes against 80 targets using precision-guided munitions and destroyed 60 IRGC Navy fast-attack boats in retaliation for

Iranian attacks on the vessels M/T Al Rekayyat, M/T Wedyan, and M/T Cyprus Prosperity.

According to CENTCOM, U.S. forces targeted Iranian air defense systems, command-and-control networks, coastal radar sites, anti-ship missile capabilities, and more than 60 Islamic Revolutionary Guard

Corps (IRGC) small boats operating in and around the Strait. The strikes were aimed at degrading Iran’s ability to continue attacks against international commercial shipping along the vital trade corridor.

⁣Netanyahu on Turkey:

I don't think they should be given F-35s or the engines for their fighter jets, because that would disrupt the balance of power in the Middle East, which ultimately guarantees Israeli air superiority, and also, I

believe, the American position in the Middle East.

⁣Indonesia is Building a City that Looks Like it Belongs in 2050

In the middle of Borneo.

I came to Nusantara expecting a construction site.

I expected Nusantara to be a failed megaproject.

Instead, I found a futuristic city being built into nature — wide roads, enormous space, and infrastructure already rising.

I wasn't expecting this.

⁣Putin stated that the more the Armed Forces of Ukraine attack the infrastructure, the more Russia will have to establish a safety zone

The goal of the supposedly peace-loving Europeans is not peace, but the continuation of the war against Russia until the last Ukrainian — Putin

He emphasized that Kiev's statements about successes that don't actually exist are just playing into our hands.

"These hypocrites are disorganizing both themselves and their sponsors with their actions," said Putin.

In addition, the president instructed to continue launching massive strikes against Ukraine's military-industrial complex and the facilities ensuring its functioning.

⁣Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan:

“Israel is currently looking for a new enemy.

As long as Israel—or any other actor—acts in ways that conflict with our national and regional interests, we have no reason to fear anyone, hesitate, or back down.

We have no problem with confrontation. If it comes to that, it is not a problem for us.

Israel is not just my problem. It is a problem for the whole world.”

True. Israel has made it its goal to become everyone’s problem!
