List of metropolitan areas in Indonesia

This page lists official metropolitan areas in Indonesia. Official acronyms are used by government, including national, provincial, and regencies. These acronyms are composed of the constituent cities and regencies within a metropolitan area, however, are not directly comparable with one another.

Metropolitan Areas

  • Note: Entire Malang Regency is not metropolitan, only kecamatan close to Malang are metropolitan, despite that claim in the Wikipedia Indonesian page. ** These areas also have acronyms other than "raya" but cover so many rural areas they are properly considered extended metro, they are listed again in that table.
  • Extended Metro Areas

    Below is a list of looser definitions of metropolitan areas within Indonesia, including far more suburban areas, some definitions may include rural areas, using 2010 census figures.

    Urban Corridors

    Urban corridors are pairs or series of metropolitan zones, that can be thought of as one stretched agglomeration, or adjacent metropolitan areas which have multiple core cities and are elongated.

    Megalopolis

    Technically, the whole north side of Java, which includes all 4 urban corridors above, is a series of metropolitan cities. For even wider scope, from Bandar Lampung on Sumatra to Java to Denpasar on Bali lies a near continual series of cities broken by some straits that potentially qualify as a megalopolis.
