About Jakarta

 JAKARTA is the capital of Indonesia. It constitutes a 1st level subdivision of the same rank as the provinces under the name of special territory of the capital Jakarta, in Indonesian Daerah Khusus Ibukota Jakarta. Anglophones familiarly call her "The Big Durian".

 Located at the northwestern tip of Java Island, it is crossed by the Ciliwung River that flows into Jakarta Bay. An important center of the Hindu-Buddhist kingdoms of Sunda and then of Pajajaran under the name of Kalapa, it became Jayakarta in 1527 after its conquest by the Sultanate of Banten. The Dutch renamed it Batavia in 1619 and made it the de facto capital of the Dutch East Indies. On August 17, 1945, Soekarno and Mohammad Hatta proclaimed the independence of Indonesia, the city then takes the name of Jakarta - which in colonial times remained in toponymy, as indicated by the name of a road, Jacatraweg, "Jacatra Road" - and becomes the capital at the end of the 1949 war of independence.

 Jakarta is a global city, the inner city covers an area of 664 km2 with a population of 9,756,944 in 20125 while the conurbation called Jabodetabek, which also includes the neighboring towns of Bogor, Depok, Tangerang and Bekasi, exceeded 28 million inhabitants in 2010, making it the second most populous metropolis in the world just behind Tokyo. Jakarta is home to the Indonesia Stock Exchange and the General Secretariat of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). The port of Tanjung Priok and the Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, Asia's third airport, complete the city's connection to major global networks.
