Jabotabek

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jabotabek or Jabodetabek is the term given to the metropolitan area surrounding Jakarta, Indonesia. The population in 2005 is estimated to be 23.6 million, making it the largest metropolitan area in Indonesia, and among the ten largest metropolitan areas in the world.

The area consists of Jakarta (a province on its own) and the three surrounding regencies of Bekasi and Bogor in West Java and Tangerang in Banten, including the cities of Bogor, Depok, Bekasi, and Tangerang.

The name of the region is taken from the first two or three letters of each city's name: Jabotabek from Jakarta, Bogor, Tangerang and Bekasi

Among the inhabitants, approximately 8.7 million live in Jakarta; 5.6 million in the four cities of Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi; and 9.1 million in the three regencies (Bekasi Regency, Tangerang Regency, and Bogor Regency). The population is steadily increasing due to migration from all over Indonesia.
