A jungle-covered area on the east of Borneo island is set to be transformed into Indonesia's new capital city.
印度尼西亚新首都将落址在婆罗洲岛东部一片森林笼盖的地域。
Concerns over the sustainability of the congested and rapidly sinking political center of Jakarta prompted the need for a new capital. The relocation was announced Monday by President Joko Widodo.
印尼首雅观加达过于拥堵,且敏捷下沉,人们对其可延续性成长布满耽忧,是以迁都打算提上日程。印尼总统佐科?维多多在本周一颁布发表了这一打算。
按照计划,印尼新首都将在2020年到2021年间“破土开工”,并将于2024年摆布将当局机关陆续迁进。
The proposed location, near the relatively underdeveloped cities of Balikpapan and Samarinda, is a far cry from the crowded powerhouse which has served as Indonesia's financial heart since 1949 -- and Widodo acknowledged that moving the country's capital to the island will be a mammoth and expensive undertaking.
新首都选址位于相对不发财的巴厘巴板和沙马林达四周,与1949年以来一向是印尼金融中间的拥堵年夜都会雅加达相往甚远。维多多认可,迁都至该岛将是一项复杂而昂贵的工程。
But Jakarta's rapid expansion in recent years has presented myriad environmental, economic and safety concerns, prompting the government to look elsewhere and ease the strain on the massive metropolis.
但最近几年来雅加达的快速扩大激发了情况、经济和平安等各种耽忧,促使当局将眼光投向别处,减缓这座年夜都会的压力。
"As a large nation that has been independent for 74 years, Indonesia has never chosen its own capital," Widodo said in a televised speech, AFP reported. "The burden Jakarta is holding right now is too heavy as the center of governance, business, finance, trade and services."
据法新社报导,维多多在电视讲话中说:“作为一个已自力74年的年夜国,印尼从未选择过本身的首都。作为行政、贸易、金融、商业和办事中间,雅加达今朝承受的承担太重。
The ambitious project to move the capital will likely cost around 486 trillion rupiah ($34 billion), CNN Indonesia reported, and officials have previously said the relocation could take around 10 years.
据美国有线电视新闻网印尼频道报导,这一大志勃勃的迁都打算或将耗资约486万亿印尼盾(约合人平易近币2442亿元)。印尼官员此前曾暗示,迁都可能需要年夜约10年。
据报导,印尼当局将承担此中19%的用度,其余资金来自“当局和社会本钱合作”(PPP)模式和私家投资者。
Jakarta is home to more than 10 million people, according to the United Nations, with an estimated 30 million in the greater metropolitan area -- making it one of the world's most overpopulated urban regions.
结合国数据显示,雅加达有1000多万生齿,年夜都会区估量有3000万生齿,是全球生齿最密集的城市地域之一。
It's also one of the fastest-sinking cities on Earth, according to the World Economic Forum, dropping into the Java Sea at an alarming rate due to over-extraction of groundwater.
按照达沃斯世界经济论坛的数据,雅加达也是全球下沉速度最快的城市之一,因为地下水的过度开采,它以惊人的速度沉进爪哇海。
据报导,今朝该市约40%的部门乃至已处于海平面以下。
The city sits on swampy ground and hugs the sea to the north, making it especially prone to flooding.
雅加达座落在池沼地,北面紧靠年夜海,极易产生洪水。
A worsening air pollution crisis, exacerbated by near-constant traffic congestion on its roads, has grown so dire that some residents sued the Indonesian government in July.
道路上终年的交通梗塞使不竭恶化的空气污染危机变得很是恐怖,一些居平易近在7月份告状了印尼当局。
《雅加达邮报》称,新国都落成后将首要作为印尼的“行政中间”,而雅加达依然是国度的贸易和经济中间,央行及其他主要贸易机构均不随当局机构迁址。
No name has been given for the new site, but the government originally announced plans to relocate the capital in April. The move requires parliamentary approval to be given the go-ahead.
印尼当局今朝还没有发布新都选址的名称,可是当局最初在4月份颁布发表了迁都打算。该打算需要获得议会的核准才能进行。
Indonesia owns the majority of Borneo, the world's third-largest island, with Malaysia and Brunei each holding parts of its northern region. The island is covered in vast rainforests, but it has been hit by rampant deforestation in recent years.
印度尼西亚具有世界第三年夜岛屿婆罗洲的年夜部门国土,马来西亚和文莱各具有婆罗洲北部的部门国土。该岛笼盖着年夜片热带雨林,但最近几年来遭到了跋扈獗的丛林砍伐的严重影响。
