As Indonesia prepares to shift its capital from Jakarta to Nusantara, a new city in East Kalimantan, Hansen is contributing to the early thinking around how people will move through and experience this place.

We’re working with Egis for KIAT, an initiative of the Australian Government through the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, to support urban mobility planning in Nusantara (IKN).

Planned as a city of six sub-centres, each with a distinct function, Nusantara is being delivered at an unprecedented scale. The first precinct, KIPP 1A is already underway – forming just one part of the broader city.

Hansen’s contribution is across Smart City and Spatial Planning leadership. Over 2024 and 2025, we’re supporting introduction of digital twin technologies and overseeing the development of a ‘Human Centred’ approach to Non-Motorised Transport (NMT) in the Long-Term Mobility Masterplan. This work aims to shape a new capital city where walking and cycling are integrated with comprehensive public transport services.

Nusantara’s transport targets are ambitious: 80 percent of trips by public transport, with the remainder by electric vehicles. Trials for autonomous buses and electric vehicles are already in progress, led by the city’s delivery agency, OIKN.

It’s a complex, fast-moving project – and we’re glad to be contributing to its evolution.
