"Why so many? Because in the implementation, time is limited and we have to achieve several targets. Of course, the number of workers and later the amount of material will also be quite large," he said, as reported by Antara.

IKN development will continue to be directed to pay attention to environmental conditions, including community interaction. Bambang emphasized that there are several patterns of direct involvement of the local community in IKN development.

"In principle, the conversion is carried out according to the law, so that the problems related to green or green, related to the sustainability of the forests that are there, we can really make it happen properly. A green, smart, inclusive city , and also sustainable in the future," he said.

On that occasion, Babambang also mentioned that President Jokowi asked the IKN Authority to further finalize multi-sector planning in IKN development by involving cross-ministerial coordination so that development targets are well achieved.

Bambang explained that all ministries and non-ministerial government institutions (K/L) that are members of the transition team have so far been working, consolidating and coordinating, with the hope that the 2024 development targets can be achieved properly.
