However, Susantono explained that the target of IKN development is not just numbers, but also a functioning ecosystem that can be enjoyed.
"The variety of land shows that there are already basic facilities available in IKN for people who move in next year,"
In addition to the basic facilities that can be enjoyed by the community, this series of groundbreaking activities also marked the construction of an adult orang hutan sanctuary in IKN.
In this sanctuary, forest orangutans are no longer young and cannot be released will be cared for.
The groundbreaking is the result of a long process of public opinion polls conducted last year. The next groundbreaking will take place in December.
"Although the process is quite long, but we can show the engine of development growth is starting to spin as we wanted from the beginning," Susantono concluded.
