Indonesia’s sinking city, and the blueprint for its new capital in Borneo.

Press/Media: Profile/Interview

Description

More people are living in cities than ever before, with much of the rapid urbanisation occurring in the Global South, particularly in Southeast Asia.

Indonesia is the fourth-most-populous country in the world, and in 1950 only about 12% of its population resided in urban areas, which has risen to about 58% in 2022, and is expected to rise to 73% by 2050.
