Construction will begin once we map out the exact locations
Jakarta (ANTARA) - Public offices and houses for civil servants will be built in Indonesia's new capital city in the districts of Penajam Paser Utara and Kutai Kertanegara, East Kalimantan Province by early 2021, a minister has said. "Construction will begin once we map out the exact locations," Minister of Public Works and Public Housings Basuki Hadimuljono said in Jakarta, Monday, while stating that he would be launching a competition for the design of the public office by the second semester next year.

The new capital city will comprise 40,000 hectares of the main cluster and 256,000 hectares of a buffer zone, Hadimujono explained. "We are in the process of designing the main administrative region or KIPP," he added after announcing the winner of a new capital city design competition in Jakarta, Monday (December 23).

The contest, that was open only to architects and city planners, had been launched in early October this year. For three months, a panel of jury comprising high-ranking officials and experts had selected dozens of submissions.

After days of deliberations, a design named after "Nagara Rimba Nusa" received the first prize worth Rp2 billion. (INE)
