She explained that the IKN infrastructure must consider security aspect, including the threat of disasters that hit. This includes disaster mitigation strategies to reduce risks and deal with climate change issues.
"Climate change is a necessity and an obligation in building a city. In this case, one of the parameters in building IKN is weatherproofing," Halim remarked.
Halim ensured that before construction, the government had identified other possible risks, such as natural disasters, landslides, and floods, "Therefore, the infrastructure used to build IKN has been ensured to be resilient to these threats.”
