Changing places: Why countries decide to take their main cities
Jakarta is clogged traffic and to move under speed
Indonesia moving ahead with plans, your Capital , the only city of Jakarta on The Island of Borneo. The exact location has not yet been Revealed , nor has a Timeline , But President Joko Widodo officially announced the scheme in Parliament on 16 August.
the reasons for the relocation of the Capital are not hard to find. Jakarta is sinking by an average of 1-15cm per year. Almost half of The City is now below Sea Level . the Java Sea lapping against them, and 13 of the rivers traversed.
your traffic jams are notorious: in the year 2016, according to a survey that the mega city had The World 's worst traffic jams. Government Ministers will be escorted by the police to get convoys to the meetings On Time .
The greater city area has a population of 30 million euros. Only about 2-4% of the wastewater treated.
The new Capital would be in Kalimantan, the name for the Indonesian part of Borneo island is. The Move would cost up to $33bn (£27bn). It has an area of 30,000 to 40,000 hectares to house between 900,000 and 1 would. 5 Million People.
The leading role to The City of Palangkaraya, in Central Kalimantan . It is geographically in the vicinity of the center of the Indonesian archipelago, and the Land proposed by the Founding Father , Sukarno, also, that it is the Capital .
consider, But Indonesia is by no means The First country to, in his Capital . Here are some other notable examples:
1. Kazakhstanin 1997, President Nursultan Nazarbayev decided to move the Capital City from the Capital , Almaty, He chose a dusty provincial town, about 1,200 km (750 miles) to the North. One of The First things he did was to change the name from Aqmola, which means "white Grave " - to Astana.
He brought architects from all over The World to its Capital City from the ground. - The World 's largest tent. Designed by Norman Foster , it houses a shopping Mall and entertainment complex.
The Baytarek tower, like an egg high up on a tree, is an Observation Deck with a view of the other newly built landmarks. For this purpose, the presidential Palace, a nod to the White house, garnished with a pale-blue dome. In addition, the Central Concert Hall, a turquoise-structure mimics an unfolding of a space ship.
All of this has been made possible thanks to Kazakhstan's booming oil sector: As a sign of gratitude, after President Nazarbayev joined the company in March, the European Parliament agreed to the name of The City in his honor.
So now the Kazakh Capital - the second-coldest in the World After Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia - as it is known, Only the Sultan's city. Not bad for a settlement, maybe.
2. Myanmar Nay Pyi Taw is the low population density is visible from the airThe City of Nay Pyi Taw covers at least four times the area of London, But with only a fraction of the people. His story is short: it is only since 2005, picking up from the flat country by the then military rulers of Myanmar (formerly Burma).
The name means "seat of The King ". The reasons for moving the Capital , some 370 km away from the largest city, Yangon (Rangoon), were never quite Clear .
But analysts were skeptical. She said it was possible, the military feared an invasion, or wanted more control over Ethnic Minorities in The Border regions.
Other Myanmar proposed the notoriously secretive leaders were simply repeating the habits of the Burmese kings in pre-colonial times who built new towns and palaces on the advice of fortune-tellers.
The City all The Hallmarks of a planned Capital City : the street from the Parliament to the presidential Palace, 20 lanes wide carries, But hardly any traffic. Shiny shopping malls and empty luxury hotels line the boulevards. It is a Safari Park , a zoo, and a minimum of three stages. In contrast to other parts of Myanmar, there is electricity around The Clock .
3. Bolivia La Paz is the highest Capital City in The WorldBolivia has two capitals: Sucre and La Paz . Sucre was the sole Capital until 1899, when he lost a brief Civil War to La Paz . After that, the Parliament and the public service moved to Bolivia, the largest city of La Paz , while the judiciary remained in Sucre.
Sucre, in the centre of the country, in which Bolivia was founded in 1825. It has a population of only 250.000 EUR, compared to 1. 7 million in La Paz .
In 2007, a proposal to move the Parliament and the government back to Sucre, only what was described as a to break the biggest protest in La Paz .
The idea grew out of a regional rivalry between President Evo Morales ' supporters in Bolivia's poor Western highlands and his opponents in the more prosperous East.
The System was finally abandoned, and Bolivia has two capitals to This Day .
4. Nigeria, Like many planned cities, Abuja, with wide streetsUntil 1991, Lagos, the largest city in Nigeria, was also its Capital . There were A Number of reasons for the transfer of the Capital to Abuja: firstly, the Central location, away from the coast.
It took about Two Days to travel the 1,600 km to Lagos by car from The City of Maiduguri, in the North-East, Abuja will be much closer.
Lagos was very busy (it is The Most populous city in sub-Saharan Africa), and this was among the reasons for The Move .
Abuja was also more politically and ethnically neutral. The Yoruba Ethnic Group dominated by Lagos, while the Igbos are mainly in the South-East, and the Kola in the North-West. This was no small matter: between 1967 and 1970, Nigeria was plagued by the Biafra war, the Igbos secede from Nigeria tried.
While Lagos grew organically, Abuja is a planned city - The First in Nigeria. The congestion in Lagos is well-known; in Abuja, the roads were designed to far from the beginning.
The National cultural institutes, together with the Supreme court, the National Assembly and the presidential Palace. However, many Federal agencies are unofficially still in Lagos.
5. Portugal of Today, Rio has little similarity with The City , not served as Portugal, the temporary Capital of theFor 13 years, The Portuguese Capital was in Lisbon, But in Rio de Janeiro. The Reason For This? Napoleon. During the Peninsular War (1807-14), the French Invasion in Portugal not less than Three Times . Days before The Invasion , in December, 1807, the Braganza Royal Family and the court left for Brazil, then a Portuguese colony. She arrived in Rio in March, 1808.
Rio in the early 19Th Century , a booming city was: it was gold, there were diamonds, there was sugar. It is also a slave, gave: up to a million of them, about a third of the population.
Dom João VI, The Prince regent, created the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarven. This elevated Brazil from a mere colony to the same level as Portugal. Brazil was also more administrative Independence . When The Queen died in 1816, he became king.
In the year 1821, The Portuguese court returned to Lisbon, where it remained until the end of the monarchy in 1910. His stay in Rio, however, left a permanent mark on Brazil, the promotion of the economy and accelerated its push for Independence .
