Indonesia Plans Capital Relocation Due to Sinking Cities
Parts of Jakarta have sunk by more than 20 centimeters in the last 100 years. This sinking is attributed to land subsidence, raising concerns about the city's future. Indonesia is planning to relocate its capital city. Jakarta, the current capital, faces sinking issues due to excessive groundwater extraction. Parts of Jakarta are sinking up to 25 centimeters per year, with Venice sinking over 20 centimeters in the last century. The cities were built on sandy or muddy soil, causing the ground to give way under building weight.
