IDXChannel - The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) is committed to supporting the development of Nusantara, Indonesia's future capital.
As a new hub for economic growth, Nusantara is envisioned to be a green, smart, inclusive and sustainable city. To achieve this vision, Indonesia needs to manage its growth carefully to ensure it truly grows and avoids common urban problems, such as congestion, overpopulation, and pollution.
UNIDO is a UN agency that focuses on sustainable industrial capacity building. In the near future, Indonesia will share its experiences in developing Nusantara with other countries at the Bridge for Cities event at UNIDO Headquarters in Vienna, Austria, in October 2024.
