The GEOfocus Channel | Countries That CREATE New Capital Cities (from scratch!) @GEOfocusChannel | Uploaded May 2022 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
This video is all about countries that have not only moved their capital cities, but actually CREATED new capital cities entirely from scratch! They're planned capital cities, which were designed with the intention of being ideal administrative cities and homes for the country's government officials, civil servants, and international diplomats. Planned capitals are typically successful as administrative centers, but in many cases tend to be dull and lack the vibrancy of naturally occurring capital cities.

In this video I talk about the examples of Brasilia (Brazil), Islamabad (Pakistan), Nusantara (Indonesia), a so far unnamed capital of Egypt, and Ciudad de la Paz (Equatorial Guinea).
