The purpose of this paper is to investigate all aspects of physical geography in planning the new capital in order to achieve an integrated tropical city. Many aspects are important in planning science because they are the basic aspects of implementing planning in an urban and regionally, especially in planning a new capital as will be done by the Indonesian government, namely moving the capital from Jakarta to Kutai Kartanegara and Penajam Paser Utara. Many studies related to this have been carried out by academics, agencies or research groups, but lack of discussing the planning of the new capital in the viewpoint of physical geography in a systematic, comprehensive and complete manner, even though this study is needed so that the new capital can include all aspects of the planning needed. The research method uses study literature from various sources and spatial analysis with approaches to all aspects of physical geography. Investigations from the new capital found biodiversity and abundant natural resources in terms of physical geography. The conclusion obtained from the study is that the physical geographical aspects of the new capital have advantages and can be used as large capital in the future by incorporating the principles of smart, green and sustainability towards the integrated tropical city.
