JAKARTA - Secretary of the Capital Archipelago Authority (OIKN) Achmad Jaka Santos Adiwijaya said partner cities around IKN, East Kalimantan, would also grow in line with the sustainable development adopted in the new capital city. Therefore, said Jaka, the development of IKN prioritizes the concept of smart sustainable forest city or sustainable and smart city, so as not to damage the natural ecosystem in East Kalimantan that houses the cities of IKN partners. " “ IKN not only develops the archipelago, but also participates in comprehensive synergy in Kalimantan so that the cities of its surrounding partners also grow together," Jaka said in a statement in Jakarta, quoted from Antara, Wednesday, December 13. Jaka said public insight regarding the big IKN project must continue to be improved. Therefore, IKN socialization needs to be carried out to schools so that the next generation of the nation can participate in IKN development. " “ 2045 is Indonesia's golden age," said Jaka. Director of Operations and Marketing of PT Bina Karya (Persero), which is an Authority (BUO), ensures that the transfer to IKN is not only administratively. However, the government and IKN investors will build a sustainable urban ecosystem. “ The moving of the capital city is not only from an administrative point of view. Together with IKN investors, we have taken steps to build city ecosystems such as health services and commercial sectors such as malls," said Selly. OIKN is intensively conducting socialization to various parties such as schools. OIKN also conducted socialization to Taruna Nusantara High School, Magelang, Central Java, some time ago. IKN was introduced to students/students of Taruna Nusantara High School as a habitable and loved city. SMA Taruna Nusantara, which is shaded by the Ministry of Defense, is a collaboration between the defense and education sectors. The Nusantara cadets were founded as the best generation producers who would protect and defend the country.

The IKN development is regulated in Law Number 3 of 2022 concerning IKN. The construction of the new capital city is estimated to require funds of up to IDR 466 trillion until 2045. Funding for IKN development is targeted to be 80 percent from cooperation between the government and business entities or investment, as well as 20 percent from the state budget.
