JAKARTA -- A project to build one of the largest theme parks in Southeast Asia is underway in the suburbs of Indonesia's capital.

The huge park is envisioned as a cross between Disneyland and Universal Studios and is scheduled to open in 2024 at the earliest. In addition to the theme park, there are plans to create a large smart city where overseas information technology companies will be invited to set up shop.
