Bandung

Bandung Regency (Kabupaten Bandung) is an administrative landlocked regency located to the south, southeast, east and northeast of the city of Bandung. The northern parts of the Bandung Regency are effectively part of Greater Bandung (technically the whole of the Regency is within the Bandung Metropolitan Area), with the southern third being less urbanized and jutting upwards from the Valley, though not as sharply as the mountain range to the immediate north of Bandung. The Regency is part of the Indonesian province of West Java, and is situated about 75 miles southeast of Jakarta. The town of Soreang is the regency seat. The Regency was reduced in size as first Cimahi City (which became autonomous in 2001) and then West Bandung Regency (in 2007) were split off from the regency, resulting in a land area of 1,762.40 km2. In the 2010 Census, the population of this residual area reached 3,178,543 after final adjustments, while the 2020 Census increased the total to 3,623,790; the official estimate as at mid 2022 was 3,718,660, for an average density of roughly 2,110 per square kilometre.
