# Nusantara: Shaping the Future of Indonesia’s New Capital
Nusantara, the official name for Indonesia’s upcoming capital city, represents a bold leap toward the nation’s future. Set for a symbolic inauguration in August 2024 to coincide with Indonesia’s Independence Day, the city is designed to transition the country away from Jakarta, which has served as the capital since 1945. More than just a relocation, this project is a cornerstone of the "Indonesia Vision 2045," aiming to transform the nation into a global economic powerhouse by shifting development to an "Indonesia-centric" model that fosters regional equity and long-term economic progress.
