Iftitah Sulaiman Suryanagara emphasized that Indonesia's future development should not rely solely on existing urban centers like Jakarta but also on these new growth areas. The program has already expanded to include 1,567 villages, 466 sub-district capitals, 116 district capitals, and three provincial capitals.
