Eid al-Fitr is predicted to fall on April 21–22, 2023.
President Widodo has ordered that a detailed map of IKN Nusantara be prepared to provide proper understanding to investors interested in building housing and other supporting facilities there, Minister of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) Basuki Hadimuljono informed.
"President Jokowi wanted to gather potential investors for IKN Nusantara. While the map will be used to show which location is potential for hotels, schools, hospitals, or even a golf course," Hadimuljono said at the Presidential Palace complex in Jakarta on Wednesday.
The minister informed that his ministry has gathered details on land use at IKN for residential houses, vertical housing, urban forests, green belts, commercial, sports, government offices, education, worship, health facilities, and parks.
With these details, potential investors can map the location of the facilities or housing they are interested in building, he added.
In addition, the PUPR Ministry has also pinpointed the location that will be developed by investors who have submitted their commitment through Letters of Intent (LOIs), he said.
“So, we will have commercial and residential sectors marked by the yellow tag and the offices sector with the blue tag. President Jokowi hopes to visit IKN Nusantara after Eid," he informed.
Of the 6,600 hectares of land that will be used for the IKN Central Government Core Area (KIPP), the minister said his ministry has earmarked 63 percent for green areas.
"This has been decided with careful calculation. Some 63 percent of more than 6,600 hectares of land will be used for green areas. Therefore, it is still in the Smart Forest City corridor," he remarked.
He added that investment land in IKN Nusantara can be purchased, but he did not specify the form of land ownership status.
