JAKARTA - IKN Nusantara will carry the concept of a city of 10 minutes or 10 Minutes City.

With the plan for the concept, OIKN also said that in the new capital city there would be no traffic jams like in Jakarta.

"Today, because of the rain, all kinds of things have become jammed. In IKN, there will be no traffic jams, God willing," said OIKN Head Bambang Susantono at a press conference at the Kominfo office, Jakarta, Tuesday, January 30.

Bambang assessed that this refers to the master transportation plan at IKN Nusantara.

The development of a city of 10 minutes means supporting active mobility, namely walking and cycling to public transportation nodes and public facilities such as offices, commercial, hospitals and schools.

"So imagine, we didn't experience things that we experienced in megapolitan like Jakarta," he said.

In addition, Bambang also revealed that living in IKN will also be fun, where complex problems such as traffic jams and the police are targeted not to happen there.

"By the way, life there is fun. Water can be drunk, the pollution is very low, everywhere you can walk. Then, the internet is fast, there are hangout places," said Bambang.

According to Bambang, his party is now only forming concepts and regulations to realize these long-term ideals.

"That's what we want to create actually, because our job here is only to deliver," he added.

For your information, the Archipelago Capital Authority (OIKN) reports that the progress of the IKN Batch 1 development as a whole has reached 71.46 percent to date.

The President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo (Jokowi) plans to hold a ceremony at IKN in August 2024.

"The overall progress of the IKN Batch 1 development reached 71.47 percent," said OIKN Head Bambang Susantono.
