Jakarta metropolitan area
The Jakarta metropolitan area or Greater Jakarta, known locally as Jabodetabekpunjur (an acronym of Jakarta–Bogor–Depok–Tangerang–Bekasi further extended to include Puncak and the some part of Cianjur Regency) 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. 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. The term "Jabodetabekjur" or "Jabodetabekpunjur" was legalised on the Presidential Regulation Number 54 of 2008, and then the name "Jabodetabekpunjur" is officially used.
