Population & Climate change: Why countries are moving their capitals
Capital cities are important in a country’s political, cultural, and economic power. However, they have been relocated often throughout history. Some chose new capitals that were more easily defended, while some built new capitals to spur development. More recently, a growing population, natural disasters and climate change have prompted such changes.
