Jakarta is the capital of the Republic of Indonesia. It has a population of six million, the largest of any urban center in Southeast Asia. It is located on the alluvial plain of the Ciliwung River in northwestern Java. The city is coextensive with its metropolitan area, Jakarta Raya, and forming a special capital region. The city has expanded from the Kota, or Old City, and now includes the modern port of Tanjung Priok.

In the last 30 years, heavy in-migration, primarily from the densely populated rural areas of Java, has accounted for much of the rapid growth. Jakarta is the major industrial and commercial center in Indonesia, with textiles and food processing among its more important industries.

Jakarta’s port is the nation’s center of Indonesia. The Museum of Indonesia Culture houses both domestic and overseas flights.
