List of Indonesian cities by population

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of the most populous cities in Indonesia. It excludes urban-characterized settlements such as regency seats, which does not have city status. Indonesia has 93 cities classified as kota (city) and one provincial-level capital city. Population figures are taken from the 2020 census and the more recent official estimates as at mid 2023, all by Statistics Indonesia (BPS).[1]

Jakarta is the largest city and the only megacity in Indonesia, with a population of 10.70 million. As a primate city, Jakarta is nearly four times larger than the second largest city Surabaya. Jakarta's status is unique compared to other cities in Indonesia, since it is technically a province with a city management. It is subdividied into five administrative cities and an administrative regency, which are not self-governed (without municipal council nor government budget). Each of Jakarta's five satellite cities also have passed the one million mark in population, with the largest one being Bekasi.

The other largest cities by region include Medan (Sumatra, also the largest outside of Java), Samarinda (Kalimantan), Denpasar (Lesser Sunda Islands), Makassar (Sulawesi), Ambon (Maluku Islands), and Jayapura (Western New Guinea). Over the decade from 2010 to 2020, Jayapura was also the fastest-growing city in Indonesia, at 70% in that decade. As of the 2020 census, there are a total of fourteen cities in Indonesia exceeding a population of one million people, and about 32.6 million people live in these fourteen cities (or 12.07% of Indonesia's population of 270.2 million people as of the 2020 census).

Most of the provinces' largest cities in Indonesia are also their capital cities. The exceptions are Bekasi (West Java), Tangerang (Banten), Batam (Riau Islands), Banjarmasin (South Kalimantan), Tarakan (North Kalimantan), and Ternate (North Maluku).
