Jakarta's first name was Sunda Kelapa. Before the Dutch came, it was renamed to Jayakarta, starting in 1527. In 1619 the [[Netherlands|Dutch]] renamed the city Batavia. It was called Jakarta by the [[Japan]]ese during [[World War 2]].


Jakarta is one of the [[List of oldest continuously inhabited cities|oldest continuously inhabited cities in Southeast Asia]]. Established in the fourth century as [[Sunda Kelapa]], the city became an important trading port for the [[Sunda Kingdom]]. At one time, it was the ''de facto'' capital of the [[Dutch East Indies]], when it was known as [[Batavia, Dutch East Indies|Batavia]]. Jakarta was officially a city within [[West Java]] until 1960, when its official status was changed to a [[Provinces of Indonesia|province]] with [[Capital districts and territories#Indonesia|special capital region]] distinction.

When relations between Prince Jayawikarta and the Dutch deteriorated, his soldiers attacked the Dutch fortress. His army and the British, however, were defeated by the Dutch, in part owing to the timely arrival of [[Jan Pieterszoon Coen]]. The Dutch burned the British fort and forced them to retreat on their ships. The victory consolidated Dutch power, and they renamed the city ''Batavia'' in 1619.

Commercial opportunities in the city attracted native and especially Chinese and Arab immigrants. This sudden population increase created burdens on the city. Tensions grew as the colonial government tried to restrict Chinese migration through deportations. Following a revolt, 5,000 Chinese were [[1740 Batavia massacre|massacred]] by the Dutch and natives on 9 October 1740, and the following year, Chinese inhabitants were moved to [[Glodok]] outside the city walls.<ref name="LONELYPLANETp138-139">{{Cite book|last=Witton|first=Patrick|title=Indonesia|publisher=Lonely Planet Publications|year=2003|location=Melbourne|pages=138–139|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=dmDYLxcPDPoC|isbn=978-1-74059-154-6}}</ref> At the beginning of the 19th century, around 400 Arabs and Moors lived in Batavia, a number that changed little during the following decades.

On 5 March 1942, the Japanese wrested [[Batavia, Dutch East Indies|Batavia]] from Dutch control, and the city was named Jakarta ({{Nihongo|Jakarta Special City|ジャカルタ特別市|Jakaruta tokubetsu-shi}}, under the special status that was assigned to the city). After the war, the Dutch name Batavia was internationally recognised until full Indonesian independence on 27 December 1949.

Jakarta is administratively equal to a [[Provinces of Indonesia|province]] with special status. The executive branch is headed by an elected [[Governor of Jakarta|governor]] and a [[Vice Governor of Jakarta|vice governor]], while the [[Jakarta Regional People's Representative Council]] ({{lang-id|Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Daerah Provinsi Daerah Khusus Ibukota Jakarta}}, DPRD DKI Jakarta) is the legislative branch with 106 directly elected members. The [[Jakarta City Hall]] at the south of [[Merdeka Square, Jakarta|Merdeka Square]] houses the office of the governor and the vice governor, and serves the main administrative office.


Executive governance consists of five administrative cities ({{lang-id|Kota Administrasi}}), each headed by a [[mayor]] and one [[Regencies of Indonesia|administrative regency]] ({{lang-id|Kabupaten Administrasi}}) headed by a [[regent]] (''bupati''). Unlike other cities and regencies in Indonesia where the mayor or regent are directly elected, Jakarta's mayors and regents are chosen by the governor. Each city and regency is divided into administrative districts.


Aside from representatives to the provincial parliament, Jakarta sends 21 delegates to the [[People's Representative Council|national lower house parliament]]. The representatives are elected from Jakarta's three national electoral districts, which also includes overseas voters.<ref>{{cite news |title=Ini 21 Caleg DPR yang Terpilih dari DKI Jakarta |url=https://news.detik.com/berita/2582777/ini-21-caleg-dpr-yang-terpilih-dari-dki-jakarta |access-date=14 August 2018 |website=Detik.com|date=14 May 2014 |language=id |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180814103209/https://news.detik.com/berita/2582777/ini-21-caleg-dpr-yang-terpilih-dari-dki-jakarta |archive-date=14 August 2018 |url-status=live }}</ref> It also sends 4 delegates, just like other provinces, to the [[Regional Representative Council|national upper house parliament]].


The Jakarta Smart City (JSC) program was launched on 14 December 2014 with a goal for smart governance, smart people, smart mobility, smart economy, smart living and a smart environment in the city using the web and various smartphone-based apps.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2019/01/14/four-years-on-ahoks-smart-city-legacy-lives-on.html|title=Four years on, Ahok's 'Smart City' legacy lives on|newspaper=The Jakarta Post|access-date=14 January 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190114153327/https://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2019/01/14/four-years-on-ahoks-smart-city-legacy-lives-on.html|archive-date=14 January 2019|url-status=live}}</ref>
=== Municipal finances ===
The Jakarta provincial government relies on transfers from the central government for the bulk of its income. Local (non-central government) sources of revenue are incomes from various taxes such as vehicle ownership and vehicle transfer fees, among others.<ref>'Taxpayer money for the city', ''The Jakarta Post'', 16 July 2011.</ref> The ability of the regional government to respond to Jakarta's many problems is constrained by limited finances.
The provincial government consistently runs a surplus of between 15 and 20% of planned spending, primarily because of delays in procurement and other inefficiencies.<ref>Sita W.

=== Administrative divisions ===
[[File:Special Capital Region of Jakarta.png|thumb|Map of the administrative cities (''Kota administratif'') in Jakarta province. Each administrative cities is further divided into [[Districts of Indonesia|districts]] (''[[Kecamatan]]'').]]
Jakarta consists of five ''Kota Administratif'' (Administrative cities/municipalities), each headed by a mayor, and one ''Kabupaten Administratif'' ([[Regencies of Indonesia|Administrative regency]]). Each city and regency is divided into districts/Kecamatan. The administrative cities/municipalities of Jakarta are:
* [[Central Jakarta]] (''Jakarta Pusat'') is Jakarta's smallest city and the administrative and political centre. It is divided into eight districts. It is characterised by large parks and Dutch colonial buildings. Landmarks include the National Monument ([[Monas]]), [[Istiqlal Mosque, Jakarta|Istiqlal Mosque]], [[Jakarta Cathedral]] and museums.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jakarta.go.id/en/pemerintahan/kotamadya/jakpus/default.asp|title=Central Jakarta Profile|work=The City Jakarta Administration|publisher=Jakarta.go.id|access-date=19 December 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090911220356/http://www.jakarta.go.id/en/pemerintahan/kotamadya/jakpus/default.asp|archive-date=11 September 2009}}</ref>
* [[West Jakarta]] (''Jakarta Barat'') has the city's highest concentration of small-scale industries. It has eight districts. The area includes Jakarta's Chinatown and Dutch colonial landmarks such as the Chinese Langgam building and [[Toko Merah]]. It contains part of [[Jakarta Old Town]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jakarta.go.id/en/pemerintahan/kotamadya/jakbar/default.asp|title=West Jakarta Profile|work=The City Jakarta Administration|publisher=Jakarta.go.id|access-date=24 February 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090911220346/http://www.jakarta.go.id/en/pemerintahan/kotamadya/jakbar/default.asp|archive-date=11 September 2009}}</ref>
* [[South Jakarta]] (''Jakarta Selatan''), originally planned as a satellite city, is now the location of upscale shopping centres and affluent residential areas. It has ten districts and functions as Jakarta's [[groundwater]] buffer,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jakarta.go.id/en/pemerintahan/kotamadya/jaksel/|title=South Jakarta Profile|work=The City Jakarta Administration|publisher=Jakarta.go.id|access-date=19 December 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090705203755/http://www.jakarta.go.id/en/pemerintahan/kotamadya/jaksel/|archive-date= 5 July 2009}}</ref> but recently the green belt areas are threatened by new developments. Much of the [[central business district]] is concentrated in Setiabudi, South Jakarta, bordering the Tanah Abang/Sudirman area of Central Jakarta.
* [[East Jakarta]] (''Jakarta Timur'') territory is characterised by several industrial sectors.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jakarta.go.id/en/pemerintahan/kotamadya/jaktim/default.asp|title=East Jakarta Profile|work=The City Jakarta Administration|publisher=Jakarta.go.id|access-date=19 December 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091014184630/http://www.jakarta.go.id/en/pemerintahan/kotamadya/jaktim/default.asp|archive-date=14 October 2009}}</ref> Also located in East Jakarta are [[Taman Mini Indonesia Indah]] and [[Halim Perdanakusuma International Airport]]. This city has ten districts.
* [[North Jakarta]] (''Jakarta Utara'') is bounded by the [[Java Sea]]. It is the location of [[Port of Tanjung Priok]]. Large- and medium-scale industries are concentrated there. It contains part of [[Jakarta Old Town]], which was the centre of [[Dutch East India Company|VOC]] trade activity during the colonial era. Also located in North Jakarta is Ancol Dreamland ([[Taman Impian Jaya Ancol]]), the largest integrated tourism area in Southeast Asia.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jakarta.go.id/en/pemerintahan/kotamadya/jakut/default.asp|title=North Jakarta Profile|work=The City Jakarta Administration|publisher=Jakarta.go.id|access-date=19 December 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090913084331/http://www.jakarta.go.id/en/pemerintahan/kotamadya/jakut/default.asp|archive-date=13 September 2009}}</ref> North Jakarta is divided into six districts.
The only administrative regency (''kabupaten'') of Jakarta is the [[Thousand Islands (Indonesia)|Thousand Islands]] (''Kepulauan Seribu''), formerly a [[Districts of Indonesia|district]] within North Jakarta. It is a collection of 105 small islands located on the Java Sea. It is of high conservation value because of its unique ecosystems. Marine tourism, such as diving, water bicycling, and windsurfing, are the primary tourist activities in this territory. The main mode of transportation between the islands is speed boats or small ferries.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jakarta.go.id/en/pemerintahan/kotamadya/kepseribu|title="Thousand Island" Profile|work=The City Jakarta Administration|publisher=Jakarta.go.id|access-date=19 December 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090616124511/http://www.jakarta.go.id/en/pemerintahan/kotamadya/kepseribu/|archive-date=16 June 2009}}</ref>

===Law enforcement===
The [[Greater Jakarta Metropolitan Regional Police]] ([[Bahasa Indonesia|Indonesian]]: ''Polda Metro Jaya'') is the police force that is responsible to maintain law, security, and order for the [[Jakarta metropolitan area]]. It is led by a two-star police general ([[Inspector General of Police#Indonesia|Inspector General of Police]]) with the title of "Greater Jakarta Regional Police Chief" ([[Bahasa Indonesia|Indonesian]]: ''Kepala Kepolisian Daerah Metro Jaya'' abbreviated "Kapolda Metro Jaya"). Its office is located at Jl. Jenderal Sudirman Kav. 55, Senayan, Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta and their hotline-emergency number is 110.
===Defence===
The [[Kodam Jaya|Jayakarta Military Regional Command]] ([[Bahasa Indonesia|Indonesian]]: ''Komando Daerah Militer Jayakarta'' abbreviated "Kodam Jaya") is the territorial army of the [[Indonesian Army]], which serves as a defence component for Jakarta and its surrounding areas ([[Greater Jakarta]]). It is led by an [[Indonesian Army|army]] [[Major General]] with the title of "Jakarta Military Regional Commander" ([[Bahasa Indonesia|Indonesian]]: ''Panglima Daerah Militer Kodam Jaya'' abbreviated "Pangdam Jaya"). The Jakarta Military Command is located at [[East Jakarta]] and oversees several military battalions ready for defending the capital city and its vital installations. It also assists the Jakarta Metropolitan Police during certain tasks, such as supporting security during [[state visit]]s, [[VVIP]] security, and [[riot control]].
== Geography ==
Jakarta covers {{Convert|699.5|km2|}}, the smallest among any [[Provinces of Indonesia|Indonesian provinces]].

Environmental advocates point out that subsidence is driven by the extraction of groundwater, much of it illegal. As the city of Tokyo did, it could be stopped by halting extraction, increasing efficiency, and finding other sources for water use.

== Climate ==
Jakarta has a [[tropical monsoon climate]] (''Am'') according to the [[Köppen climate classification]] system. The wet season in Jakarta covers the majority of the year, running from October through May. The remaining four months (June through September) constitute the city's drier season (each of these four months has an average monthly rainfall of fewer than {{convert|100|mm}}). Technically speaking, however, only August qualifies as the genuine dry season month, as it has less than {{convert|60|mm}} of rainfall. Located in the western part of Java, Jakarta's wet season rainfall peaks in January and February with average monthly rainfall of {{convert|297.7|mm}}, and its dry season's low point is in August with a monthly average of {{convert|43.2|mm|abbr=on}}.

The '[[Betawi people|Betawi]]' (''Orang Betawi'', or 'people of Batavia') are the descendants of the people living in and around [[Batavia, Dutch East Indies|Batavia]] who became recognised as an ethnic group around the 18th–19th century. They mostly descend from Southeast Asian ethnic groups brought or attracted to Batavia to meet labour needs.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://www.google.com/books/edition/Kreolit%C3%A4t_und_postkoloniale_Gesellschaf/y_IAxzcSX7YC|title=Kreolität und postkoloniale Gesellschaft: Integration und Differenzierung in Jakarta|last=Knörr|first=Jacqueline|date=2007|publisher=Campus Verlag|isbn=978-3-593-38344-6|language=de}}</ref><ref>The Betawi—due to their diverse origins—play a vital role concerning ethnic and national identity in contemporary Jakarta; {{harvnb|Knörr|2007}}</ref> Betawi people are a creole ethnic group who came from various parts of Indonesia and intermarried with Chinese, Arabs and Europeans.<ref>Rogelio Sáenz, David G.

A significant [[Chinese Indonesian|Chinese]] community has lived in Jakarta for many centuries. They traditionally reside around old urban areas, such as [[Pinangsia]], [[Pluit]] and [[Glodok]] (Jakarta Chinatown) areas. They also can be found in the old [[Chinatown]]s of [[Senen]] and [[Jatinegara]]. Officially, they make up 5.53% of the Jakarta population, although this number may be under-reported.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/4312805.stm|title=Chinese diaspora: Indonesia|work=BBC News|publisher=BBC|author=Johnston, Tim|date=3 March 2005|access-date=30 November 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071223170116/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/4312805.stm|archive-date=23 December 2007|url-status=live}}</ref>
The Sumatran residents are diverse. According to the 2010 Census, roughly 346,000 [[Batak]], 305,000 [[Minangkabau people|Minangkabau]] and 155,000 [[Ethnic Malays|Malays]] lived in the city. The number of Batak people has grown in ranking, from eighth in 1930 to fifth in 2000. [[Toba Batak people|Toba Batak]] is the largest sub-ethnic Batak group in Jakarta.<ref>Anthony Reid, Imperial Alchemy: Nationalism and Political Identity in Southeast Asia, 2010</ref> Minangkabau people generally work as merchants, peddlers, and artisans, with more in white-collar professions, such as doctors, teachers and journalists.<ref>Board of Editors, Contributions to Southeast Asian Ethnography, 1987</ref><ref>Mochtar Naim, Merantau: Causes and Effects of Minangkabau Voluntary Migration, 1971</ref>
=== Language ===
[[Indonesian language|Indonesian]] is the official and dominant language of Jakarta, while many elderly people speak [[Dutch language|Dutch]] or [[Chinese language|Chinese]], depending on their upbringing. [[English language|English]] is also widely used for communication, especially in Central and South Jakarta.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/26/world/asia/26indo.html|title=As English Spreads, Indonesians Fear for Their Language|newspaper=The New York Times|access-date=11 August 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190811160323/https://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/26/world/asia/26indo.html|archive-date=11 August 2019|url-status=live}}</ref> Each of the ethnic groups uses their mother language at home, such as [[Betawi language|Betawi]], [[Javanese language|Javanese]], and [[Sundanese language|Sundanese]]. The [[Betawi language]] is distinct from those of the [[Sundanese people|Sundanese]] or [[Javanese people|Javanese]], forming itself as a [[language island]] in the surrounding area. It is mostly based on the East [[Old Malay|Malay]] dialect and enriched by [[loan word]]s from [[Dutch language|Dutch]], [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]], [[Sundanese language|Sundanese]], [[Javanese language|Javanese]], [[Hokkien language|Chinese]], and [[Arabic]].

== Culture ==
As the capital of Indonesia, Jakarta is the melting point of cultures of all ethnic groups of the country. Though [[Betawi people]] are considered an indigenous community of Jakarta, the city's culture represents many languages and ethnic groups, support differences regarding religion, traditions and linguistics, rather than any single and dominant culture.
=== Arts and festivals ===
[[File:Tanjidor, by M Jeffry Hanafiah.jpg|thumb|right|[[Tanjidor]] music of [[Betawi people|Betawi]] culture demonstrate [[Portuguese Indonesians|European]] influence]]
The [[Betawi people|Betawi]] culture is distinct from those of the [[Sundanese people|Sundanese]] or [[Javanese people|Javanese]], forming a [[language island]] in the surrounding area. Betawi arts have a low profile in Jakarta, and most Betawi people have moved to the suburbs. The cultures of the Javanese and other Indonesian ethnic groups have a higher profile than that of the Betawi. There is a significant Chinese influence in Betawi culture, reflected in the popularity of Chinese cakes and sweets, [[firecracker]]s and Betawi wedding attire that demonstrates Chinese and Arab influences.

=== Water supply ===
{{details|Water privatisation in Jakarta}}
Two private companies, PALYJA and Aetra, provide piped water in the western and eastern half of Jakarta respectively under 25-year concession contracts signed in 1998. A public asset holding company called PAM Jaya owns the infrastructure. Eighty per cent of the water distributed in Jakarta comes through the West Tarum Canal system from Jatiluhur reservoir on the [[Citarum River]], {{convert|70|km|0|abbr=on}} southeast of the city. The water supply was privatised by President Suharto in 1998 to the French company [[Suez Environnement]] and the British company [[Thames Water]] International. Both companies subsequently sold their concessions to Indonesian companies. Customer growth in the first seven years of the concessions had been lower than before, possibly because of substantial inflation-adjusted tariff increases during this period. In 2005, tariffs were frozen, leading the private water companies to cut down on investments.

Government-run hospitals are of a good standard but are often overcrowded. Government-run specialised hospitals include [[Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital]], [[Gatot Soebroto Army Hospital]], as well as community hospitals and [[puskesmas]]. Other options for healthcare services include private hospitals and clinics. The private healthcare sector has seen significant changes, as the government began allowing foreign investment in the private sector in 2010. While some private facilities are run by nonprofit or religious organisations, most are for-profit. Hospital chains such as [[Siloam Hospitals|Siloam]], Mayapada, Mitra Keluarga, Medika, Medistra, Ciputra, and Hermina operate in the city.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.thejakartapost.com/academia/2016/09/27/indonesias-health-care-industry-is-on-the-rise.html|title=Indonesia's health care industry is on the rise|newspaper=The Jakarta Post|access-date=21 December 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171222052122/http://www.thejakartapost.com/academia/2016/09/27/indonesias-health-care-industry-is-on-the-rise.html|archive-date=22 December 2017|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.tribunnews.com/nasional/2013/10/25/mayapada-hospital-jakarta-selatan-diresmikan|title=Mayapada Hospital Jakarta Selatan Diresmikan|newspaper=Tribun News|access-date=21 December 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171222052329/http://www.tribunnews.com/nasional/2013/10/25/mayapada-hospital-jakarta-selatan-diresmikan|archive-date=22 December 2017|url-status=live}}</ref>

Colonial buildings and structures include those that were constructed during the colonial period. The dominant colonial styles can be divided into three periods: the [[Dutch Golden Age]] (17th to late 18th century), the transitional style period (late 18th century – 19th century), and Dutch modernism (20th century). Colonial architecture is apparent in houses and villas, churches, civic buildings and offices, mostly concentrated in the [[Jakarta Old Town]] and [[Central Jakarta]]. Architects such as J.C. Schultze and [[Eduard Cuypers]] designed some of the significant buildings. Schultze's works include [[Gedung Kesenian Jakarta|Jakarta Art Building]], the Indonesia Supreme Court Building and [[Ministry of Finance (Indonesia)|Ministry of Finance]] Building, while Cuypers designed [[Museum Bank Indonesia|Bank Indonesia Museum]] and Bank Mandiri Museum.

In the early 20th century, most buildings were built in [[Renaissance Revival architecture|Neo-Renaissance]] style. By the 1920s, the architectural taste had begun to shift in favour of [[Rationalism (architecture)|rationalism]] and [[modernism]], particularly [[Art Deco|art deco]] architecture. The elite suburb [[Menteng]], developed during the 1910s, was the city's first attempt at creating ideal and healthy housing for the middle class. The original houses had a longitudinal organisation, with overhanging eaves, large windows and open ventilation, all practical features for a tropical climate.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://m.thejakartapost.com/news/2012/07/11/building-past.html|title=Building on the Past|first=Willy|last=Wilson|work=The Jakarta Post|date=11 July 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305084422/http://m.thejakartapost.com/news/2012/07/11/building-past.html|archive-date= 5 March 2016 }}</ref> These houses were developed by N.V. de Bouwploeg, and established by [[Pieter Adriaan Jacobus Moojen|P.A.J.

After independence, the process of nation-building in Indonesia and demolishing the memory of colonialism was as important as the symbolic building of arterial roads, monuments, and government buildings. The [[National Monument (Indonesia)|National Monument]] in Jakarta, designed by Sukarno, is Indonesia's beacon of nationalism. In the early 1960s, Jakarta provided highways and super-scale cultural monuments as well as [[Senayan Sports Stadium]]. The [[DPR/MPR Building|parliament building]] features a hyperbolic roof reminiscent of German rationalist and Corbusian design concepts.<ref>{{cite book|first1=Ryan|last1=Bishop|first2=John|last2=Phillips|first3=Wei Wei|last3=Yeo|url=https://www.google.com/books/edition/Postcolonial_Urbanism/S4nUNKK9_lwC|title=Postcolonial Urbanism: Southeast Asian Cities and Global Processes|date=2003|publisher=Psychology Press|isbn=978-0-415-93250-9}}</ref> Built-in 1996, [[Wisma 46]] soars to a height of {{convert|262|m|abbr=off}} and its nib-shaped top celebrates technology and symbolises stereoscopy.

=== Landmarks ===
[[File:Monumen nasional jakarta.jpg|thumb|left|Night view of [[National Monument (Indonesia)|Monas]], the Jakarta landmark]]
Most landmarks, monuments and statues in Jakarta were begun in the 1960s during the [[Sukarno]] era, then completed in the [[Suharto]] era, while some date from the colonial period. Although many of the projects were completed after his presidency, Sukarno, who was an architect, is credited for planning Jakarta's monuments and landmarks, as he desired the city to be the beacon of a powerful new nation. Among the monumental projects were built, initiated, and planned during his administration are the [[National Monument (Indonesia)|National Monument]], [[Istiqlal Mosque, Jakarta|Istiqlal mosque]], the [[DPR/MPR Building|Legislature Building]], and the [[Gelora Bung Karno]] stadium. Sukarno also built many nationalistic monuments and statues in the capital city.<ref name="Megacity-Jakarta">{{cite book | title = Planning the Megacity: Jakarta in the Twentieth Century – Planning, History and Environment Series | first = Christopher | last = Silver | publisher = Routledge | year = 2007 | isbn = 978-1-135-99122-7|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=UEaUAgAAQBAJ&q=Sukarno+build+Jakarta&pg=PA101 | page = 101}}</ref>

Jakarta, officially the Special Capital Region of Jakarta (Template:Lang-id), is the largest and the capital city of Indonesia. It is on the northwest coast of the island of Java, it has an area of 661.52 km² and a population of 10,562,088 as of 2020.[7] Jakarta has been established for more than 490 years. It is the ninth most dense city in the world with 15,900 people per km².

Jakarta's first name was Sunda Kelapa. Before the Dutch came, it was renamed to Jayakarta, starting in 1527. In 1619 the Dutch renamed the city Batavia. It was called Jakarta by the Japanese during World War 2.

Jakarta has a tropical monsoon climate (Am in the Köppen climate classification).

Jakarta's challenges include rapid urban growth and flooding.[10] Additionally, Jakarta is sinking up to 17 cm (6.7 inches) per year. It is also one of the fastest-sinking capitals in the world.[11] In 2019, President Joko Widodo said that the capital would be moved to East Kalimantan, an Indonesian province on the island of Borneo.[12] On 18 January 2022, the Parliament of Indonesia approved a bill to change the country's capital from Jakarta to Nusantara.[13]
