The underlying design principle for the new capital city is to bring together City and Nature. The proposal entitled Kota Seribu Galur  weaves together the multiple threads of Indonesia’s multiple cultures to represent its unique diversity and create a strong symbol of National Unity.  It respects the topography, nature and cultural heritage of the local people.

​

The new capital city is designed not just for the Government but for the well-being of its future citizens. It must be a living city where people can walk to work, children can walk to school, and families can have a high quality of life. The proposal is based on international best practices of urban planning. The capital of Indonesia will be a model for future cities in the world. This city is designed to be the center of Indonesia but more than that, it should fulfill Indonesia's destiny to become the economic and cultural capital of Southeast Asia.
