It serves as a commuter city within the Jakarta metropolitan area. According to the 2020 Census by Statistics Indonesia (BPS), Bekasi had 2,543,676 inhabitants.[2] The official estimate for mid 2022 was 2,590,257.[3] It lies within the largest metropolitan area in Indonesia (Jabodetabek). The city is bordered by Bekasi Regency (from which the city was separated administratively on 16 December 1996) to the north and the east, Bogor Regency and Depok City to the south, and East Jakarta to the west.Bekasi is one of the oldest cities in Indonesia, and has a history of being the capital city of the Kingdom of Tarumanagara. At that time, the name of Bekasi was Dayeuh Sundasembawa or Jayagiri. The earliest evidence of its existence dates from the fifth century according to the Tugu inscription, which describes the name of two rivers that run through the city, i.e. Candrabhaga and Gomati and one of those rivers, i.e. Candrabhaga is the origin of the name Bekasi where the name Candrabhaga evolved into Bhagasasi due to the Sanskrit word candra which means moon evolved into Old Sundanese word ‘sasi’ which also means moon and then the name Bhagasasi was misspelled as Bhagasi and then Dutch colonial government also misspelled the name Bhagasi as Bacassie and finally it became Bekasi.[4] During the Dutch East Indies period, Bekasi was a part of Batavia residency. As a dormitory city, many middle class satellite areas have been developed in Bekasi,[5] complete with their own shopping malls, schools, hospitals, club houses, water park, and shuttle bus services to central Jakarta. The large number of multinational companies has apparently attracted many expatriates (mainly Japanese and Korean) to settle in Bekasi.[6]Table of ContentsEconomy[edit]Commerce[edit]Infrastructure[edit]Road and highway[edit]Railway[edit]Transport[edit]Demographics[edit]Administrative Districts[edit]Climate[edit]In popular culture[edit]People from Bekasi[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Economy[edit]Bekasi has already grown to become one of the centre of growth in Jabodetabek. The city accounts for 2.11% of total national GDP.[7] Recently, many foreigners (mostly Korean, Japanese, and Chinese) have set up their business to take advantage of its dynamism and boost its economy. Bekasi’s economy was mainly based on service and manufacturing.Commerce[edit]Bekasi is one of the most promising property markets in Jabodetabek besides South Tangerang, and several high-value developments have transformed its property market. Many of country’s big property developers are building apartments, hotels, and shopping malls in the city. In recent years, some residences have developed along the Jatiwarna\/Jatibening\u00a0\u2014 East Bekasi toll highway, further to Cibatu in Bekasi Regency. These include Kota Harapan Indah, Summarecon Bekasi, Kemang Pratama and Grand Galaxy City.Prime business and commercial centres are situated in the western part of city. There are some financial centres, restaurants, and shopping centres along Jalan Ahmad Yani, Jalan Sudirman, Jalan K.H. Noer Alie, and Harapan Indah Boulevard. The largest shopping centre is Grand Metropolitan with over 125,000\u00a0m2 (1,350,000\u00a0sq\u00a0ft) of floor space.[8]Other shopping centres include Metropolitan Mall, Summarecon Mal Bekasi, Mal Ciputra Cibubur, Mega Bekasi Hypermall, Grand Galaxy Park, Grand Mall, Blu Plaza, BTC Mall, GP Mall, Bekasi Cyber Park, Plaza Pondok Gede, and Lagoon Avenue. Many hotels developed in Bekasi, such as Santika, Horison, Harris, Aston Imperial, Amaris, Amaroossa and Tune Hotel.Infrastructure[edit]  Bekasi commercial centersThe development of large scale residential areas and industrial parks in Bekasi has been induced by infrastructure development, especially roads, highways and railways.Road and highway[edit]Bekasi is connected by the Trans-Java Toll Road, the main road across Java. There are three expressways connections from the Jabodetabek urban area: the Jakarta\u2013Cikampek Toll Road, which has three exits in Bekasi; the Jakarta Outer Ring Road, which provides access to Tangerang, Jakarta and Bogor; and the new Bekasi-Cawang-Kampung Melayu Toll Road. In 2019, Jakarta-Cikampek elevated toll road will operate to ease traffic on the current toll road between Cikunir and West Karawang with a total length of 36.4 kilometres.[9] Owing to its location as a satellite city of Jakarta, heavy rush hour traffic jams have become common on the roads between East Jakarta and Bekasi.KMToll RoadToll GateDestination08Jakarta\u2013Cikampek Toll RoadJatibeningJatibening, Jatiwaringin, Cikunir12Bekasi BaratKayuringin, Pekayon, Summarecon Bekasi, Harapan Baru16Bekasi TimurMargahayu, Bulak Kapal, Bantar Gebang37Jakarta Outer Ring RoadJatiwarnaJatiwarna, Kranggan, Pondok Gede41JatiasihJatiasih, Cikunir, Jatimekar47KalimalangKranji, Jakasampurna, Bintara Jaya49BintaraBintara, Bintara Jaya, Harapan Baru (alternative route)13Bekasi-Cawang-Kampung Melayu Toll RoadJakasampurnaJakasampurna, Jakasetia, Grand Galaxy CityRailway[edit]The government is currently constructing a double track railway connecting Manggarai to Cikarang, which would be finished around 2020.[10] Beside a double track railway, the government also building a 17.9\u00a0km light rail transit line connecting East Bekasi-Cawang-Dukuh Atas across Greater Jakarta.[11]Transport[edit]  At present, rapid transit in Bekasi across Greater Jakarta consists of a commuter rail KRL Commuterline and a bus rapid transit TransJakarta.KRL Commuterline’s Blue Line serves from either Bekasi, Bekasi Timur or Kranji to Jakarta Kota (via Pasar Senen\/Manggarai) and Cikarang.
