The Jakarta metropolitan area or Greater Jakarta,[1][2][3][4] known locally as Jabodetabek (acronym of Jakarta–Bogor–Depok–Tangerang–Bekasi),[5][6][7][8][9] is the most populous megapolitan area in Indonesia. It includes the national capital (Jakarta Special Capital Region, as the core city) as well as five satellite cities and three complete regencies.[10]

The original term "Jabotabek" dated from the late 1970s and was revised to "Jabodetabek" in 1999 when "De" (for "Depok") was inserted into the name following its formation. Another less commonly known acronym for this region is Jabodetabekpunjur which includes Puncak region of Bogor Regency and portions of Cianjur Regency. The term "Jabodetabekjur" or "Jabodetabekpunjur" was legalised on the Presidential Regulation Number 54 of 2008,[11] and then the name "Jabodetabekpunjur" became officially used;[12] however, this extension to include part of Cianjur Regency is not included in the figures below.

The area comprises the Special Capital Region of Jakarta and parts of West Java and Banten provinces, specifically the three regencies - Bekasi Regency and Bogor Regency in West Java, and Tangerang Regency in Banten. The area also includes the independent cities of Bogor, Depok, Bekasi, Tangerang and South Tangerang, all of which are not included administratively in the regencies.

The population of the Jakarta metropolitan area, with an area of Script error: No such module "convert"., was 31.24 million according to the Indonesian 2020 Census,[13] making it the most populous region in Indonesia, as well as the most populous urban area in the world. The Jakarta metropolitan area's share of the national population increased from 6.1% in 1961 to 11.26% in 2010.[14] The population grew further to 32.3 million according to the official mid 2024 Estimates.[15]

The region is the centre of government, culture, education, and economy of Indonesia. It has pulled many people from throughout Indonesia to come, live and work. Its economic power makes Jakarta metropolitan area the country's premier centre for finance, manufacturing and commerce. According to 2019 data, the area had a gross domestic product of US$297.7 billion with a per capita GDP of $8,775, and a purchasing power parity of $978.5 billion with a per capita PPP of $28,840, equal to 26.2% of economy of Indonesia.

History

The region was established in 1976 through Presidential Instruction No. 13 in response to the needs to sustain the growing population of the capital city. Indonesia's government established the Jabotabek Cooperation Body (Badan Kerjasama Pembangunan) of the joint secretariat of Government of DKI Jakarta and West Java province.[16]

Greater Jakarta

The generic term Greater Jakarta refers to the urban region surrounding Jakarta, and it is not specific to any official or administrative designations. On the contrary, depending on context, it may refer to the built-up area around Jakarta.

Among the inhabitants, approximately 10.68 million lived in Jakarta Special Capital Region according to the mid-2024 official estimates; about 9.24 million in the five cities of Bogor, Depok, Bekasi, Tangerang and South Tangerang; and about 12.33 million in the three regencies (Bekasi Regency, Bogor Regency, and Tangerang Regency).[15] The proportion of the core city's (Jakarta) population to that of the entire metropolitan area also declined significantly. In mid 2024, the population of Jakarta was only 33.1% of the total population of the Jakarta metropolitan area, continuing the decline from 54.6% in 1990 to 43.2% in 2000 and 35.5% in 2010.
