Indonesias new capital city Nusantara is finally starting to look like a city (though still very small). Still its been crazy to watch it go from scratch until now.
Egypts new administrative capital is also still pushing forward.
Never thought in my lifetime I would be able to watch 2 capital cities from major countries be built from scratch. Theres definitely things I would do different in both cases, but regardless its amazing to watch. It harkens back to a time when countries would do mega projects from the top down as points of national pride like the suez canal, panama canal, washington DC plan, central park…..etc. Not only does this not happen in the west these days, but we just dont build new cities period. Not saying its necessarily good or bad. I just cant wait to be able to travel to these places one day and walk around and see what its like and cant wait to see how they change over time throughout the rest of my life!! So cool.
