'''Jakarta''' ({{IPAc-en|dʒ|ə|ˈ|k|ɑr|t|ə}}; {{IPA-id|dʒaˈkarta|3=Id-Jakarta.ogg}}, {{Lang-bew|Jakarté}}), officially the '''Special Capital Region of Jakarta''' ({{Lang-id|Daerah Khusus Ibukota Jakarta}}, {{small|abbr.}} {{lang|id|DKI Jakarta}}) and formerly known as Batavia, is the capital (until 17 August 2024) and largest metropolis of Indonesia. Lying on the northwest coast of Java, the world's [[Earth:List of islands by population|most populous island]], Jakarta is the largest metropole in [[Place:Southeast Asia|Southeast Asia]], and serves as the diplomatic capital of [[Organization:ASEAN|ASEAN]]. Jakarta is bordered by two provinces: West Java to the south and east; and, since 2000, Banten to the west. Its coastline faces the Java Sea to the north, and it shares a maritime border with Lampung to the west. Jakarta's metropolitan area is ASEAN's second largest economy after [[Place:Singapore|Singapore]].

Jakarta is the economic, cultural, and political centre of Indonesia. It possesses a province-level status and has a population of 10,679,951 as of mid-2022.<ref name="Badan Pusat Statistik 2023">Badan Pusat Statistik, Jakarta, 2023.</ref> Although Jakarta extends over only {{cvt|661.23|km2|}} and thus has the smallest area of any Indonesian province, its metropolitan area covers {{cvt|9,957.08|km2|}}, which includes the satellite cities of Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, South Tangerang, and Bekasi, and has an estimated population of 35&nbsp;million {{as of|2022|lc=y}}, making it the largest urban area in Indonesia and the second-largest in the world (after Tokyo). Jakarta ranks first among the Indonesian provinces in the [[Engineering:Human Development Index|human development index]]. Jakarta's business and employment opportunities, along with its ability to offer a potentially higher [[Finance:Standard of living|standard of living]] compared to other parts of the country, have attracted migrants from across the Indonesian [[Earth:Archipelago|archipelago]], making it a melting pot of numerous cultures.

Jakarta is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Southeast Asia. Established in the fourth century as Sunda Kelapa, the city became an important trading port for the Sunda Kingdom. At one time, it was the ''de facto'' capital of the Dutch East Indies, when it was known as Batavia. Jakarta was officially a city within West Java until 1960 when its official status was changed to a province with special capital region distinction. As a province, its government consists of five administrative cities and one administrative regency. Jakarta is an [[Global city#GaWC study|alpha world city]] and is the seat of the ASEAN secretariat. Financial institutions such as the Bank of Indonesia, Indonesia Stock Exchange, and corporate headquarters of numerous Indonesian companies and [[Finance:Multinational corporation|multinational corporation]]s are located in the city. In 2021, the city's [[Finance:Gross regional product|GRP]] PPP was estimated at US$602.946&nbsp;billion.

Jakarta's main challenges include rapid urban growth, ecological breakdown, gridlocked traffic, congestion, and flooding due to subsidence (sea level rise is relative, not absolute). Jakarta is sinking up to 17&nbsp;cm (6.7&nbsp;inches) annually, which has made the city more prone to flooding and one of the fastest-sinking capitals in the world. In response to these challenges, in August 2019, President Joko Widodo announced his agreement with an official study that the capital of Indonesia [[Place:Capital of Indonesia#Move to Nusantara|would be moved]] from Jakarta to the planned city of [[Place:Nusantara (planned city)|Nusantara]], in the province of East Kalimantan on the island of Borneo. The MPR approved the move on 18 January 2022.

Jakarta has been home to multiple settlements. Below is the list of names used during its existence:

The name 'Jakarta' is derived from the word ''Jayakarta'' (Devanagari: जयकर्त) which is ultimately derived from the [[Social:Sanskrit|Sanskrit]] जय ''jaya'' (victorious),<ref>{{cite web |work=Sanskrit Dictionary |title=jaya |url=http://spokensanskrit.de/index.php?script=DI&beginning=0+&tinput=jaya&trans=Translate&direction=SE |access-date=11 June 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170731043538/http://spokensanskrit.de/index.php?script=DI&beginning=0+&tinput=jaya&trans=Translate&direction=SE |archive-date=31 July 2017 |url-status=dead}}</ref> and कृत ''krta'' (accomplished, acquired),<ref>{{cite web |work=Sanskrit Dictionary |title=krta |url=http://spokensanskrit.de/index.php?script=DI&beginning=0+&tinput=krta+&trans=Translate&direction=SE |access-date=11 June 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170731044135/http://spokensanskrit.de/index.php?script=DI&beginning=0+&tinput=krta+&trans=Translate&direction=SE |archive-date=31 July 2017 |url-status=dead}}</ref> thus ''Jayakarta'' translates as 'victorious deed', 'complete act' or 'complete victory'. It was named for the Muslim troops of Fatahillah which successfully defeated and drove the Portuguese away from the city in 1527.<ref name="jakarta-news-2011">{{cite web |url=http://www.beritajakarta.com/english/AboutJakarta/HistoryofJakarta.asp |title=History of Jakarta |work=Jakarta News |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110820052725/http://www.beritajakarta.com/english/AboutJakarta/HistoryofJakarta.asp |archive-date=20 August 2011}}</ref> Before it was called Jayakarta, the city was known as 'Sunda Kelapa'. Tomé Pires, a Portuguese apothecary, wrote the name of the city in his magnum opus as ''Jacatra'' or ''Jacarta''{{sfn|Cortesão|1990|pp=27–32}} during his journey to the [[Place:East Indies|East Indies]].

In the 17th century, the city was known as {{lang|nl|Koningin van het Oosten}} (Queen of the Orient), a name that was given for the urban beauty of downtown Batavia's canals, mansions and ordered city layout.{{sfn|Kampen|1831|p=291}} After expanding to the south in the 19th century, this nickname came to be more associated with the suburbs (e.g. Menteng and the area around Merdeka Square), with their wide lanes, green spaces and villas.<ref>{{in lang|nl}} "{{lang|nl|Batavia zoals het weent en lacht}}", (17 October 1939), {{lang|nl|Het Nieuws van den Dag voor Nederlandsch-Indië}}, p. 6</ref> During the Japanese occupation, the city was renamed as {{nihongo||ジャカルタ特別市|''Jakaruta Tokubetsu-shi''|Jakarta Special City}}.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2019/01/28/the-capitals-childhood-names.html |title=The capital's 'childhood' names |newspaper=The Jakarta Post |access-date=28 January 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190128191351/https://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2019/01/28/the-capitals-childhood-names.html |archive-date=28 January 2019 |url-status=live}}</ref>

==History==
{{For timeline}}

===Precolonial era===
[[File:Replica of the Luso-Sundanese Padrão Monument.jpg|thumb|upright|left|Luso-Sundanese ''padrão'', a monument with a cross of the Order of Christ, commemorating a treaty between Portugal and Hindu Sunda kingdoms.]]
The north coast area of western Java including Jakarta was the location of prehistoric Buni culture that flourished from 400 BC to 100 AD.{{sfn|Zahorka|2007|p=?}} The area in and around modern Jakarta was part of the 4th-century Sundanese kingdom of Tarumanagara, one of the oldest Hindu kingdoms in Indonesia.{{sfn|Ayatrohaédi|2005|p=?}} The area of North Jakarta around Tugu became a populated settlement in the early 5th century. The Tugu inscription (probably written around 417 AD) discovered in Batutumbuh hamlet, Tugu village, Koja, North Jakarta, mentions that King Purnawarman of Tarumanagara undertook hydraulic projects; the irrigation and water drainage project of the Chandrabhaga river and the Gomati river near his capital.{{sfn|Hellman|Thynell|Voorst|2018|p=182}} Following the decline of Tarumanagara, its territories, including the Jakarta area, became part of the Hindu Kingdom of Sunda. From the 7th to the early 13th century, the port of Sunda was under the Srivijaya maritime empire. According to the Chinese source, ''Chu-fan-chi'', written circa 1225, Chou Ju-kua reported in the early 13th century that Srivijaya still ruled Sumatra, the Malay peninsula and western Java (Sunda).{{sfn|Bunge|Vreeland|1983|p=3}} The source says the port of Sunda is strategic and thriving, mentioning [[Biology:Black pepper|pepper]] from Sunda as among the best in quality. The people worked in agriculture, and their houses were built on wooden piles.{{sfn|Ayatrohaédi|2005|p=60}} The harbour area became known as Sunda Kelapa, ([[Social:Sundanese language|Sundanese]]: {{Sund|ᮞᮥᮔ᮪ᮓ ᮊᮨᮜᮕ}}) and by the 14th century, it was an important trading port for the Sunda Kingdom.

The first European fleet, four Portuguese ships from Malacca, arrived in 1513 while looking for a route to obtain spices.{{sfn|Heuken|1999|p=?}} The Sunda Kingdom made an alliance treaty with the Portuguese by allowing them to build a port in 1522 to defend against the rising power of Demak Sultanate from central Java.<ref name="jakarta-news-2011" /> In 1527, Fatahillah, a Pasai-born military commander of Demak attacked and conquered Sunda Kelapa, driving out the Portuguese. Sunda Kelapa was renamed Jayakarta,<ref name="jakarta-news-2011" /> and became a fiefdom of the Banten Sultanate, which became a major Southeast Asian trading centre.

Through the relationship with Prince Jayawikarta of the Banten Sultanate, Dutch ships arrived in 1596. In 1602, the British East India Company's first voyage, commanded by Sir James Lancaster, arrived in Aceh and sailed on to Banten where they were allowed to build a trading post. This site became the centre of British trade in the Indonesian archipelago until 1682.{{sfn|Ricklefs|1981|p=?}} Jayawikarta is thought to have made trading connections with the British merchants, rivals of the Dutch, by allowing them to build houses directly across from the Dutch buildings in 1615.{{sfn|Heuken|1999|p=?}}

===Colonial era===
[[File:COLLECTIE TROPENMUSEUM De stad Batavia TMnr 3728-537 (flopped).jpg|left|thumb|Batavia circa 1780]]
When relations between Prince Jayawikarta and the Dutch deteriorated, his soldiers attacked the Dutch fortress. His army and the British, however, were defeated by the Dutch, in part owing to the timely arrival of Jan Pieterszoon Coen. The Dutch burned the British fort and forced them to retreat on their ships. The victory consolidated Dutch power, and they renamed the city ''Batavia'' in 1619.

[[File:Batavia - Townhall 1770.jpg|thumb|The City Hall of Batavia (''Stadhuis van Batavia''), the seat of the governor-general of the VOC in the late 18th century by Johannes Rach c. 1770. The building now houses the Jakarta History Museum, Jakarta Old Town.]]
Commercial opportunities in the city attracted native and especially Chinese and Arab immigrants. This sudden population increase created burdens on the city. Tensions grew as the colonial government tried to restrict Chinese migration through deportations. Following a revolt, 5,000 Chinese were massacred by the Dutch and natives on 9 October 1740, and the following year, Chinese inhabitants were moved to Glodok outside the city walls.{{sfn|Witton|2003|pp=138–39}} At the beginning of the 19th century, around 400 Arabs and Moors lived in Batavia, a number that changed little during the following decades. Among the commodities traded were fabrics, mainly imported cotton, ''batik'' and clothing worn by Arab communities.{{sfn|Nas|Grijns|2000|p=145}}

The city began to expand further south as epidemics in 1835 and 1870 forced residents to move away from the port.

On 5 March 1942, the Japanese captured Batavia from Dutch control, and the city was named Jakarta ({{Nihongo|Jakarta Special City|ジャカルタ特別市|Jakaruta tokubetsu-shi}}, under the special status that was assigned to the city). After the war, the Dutch name Batavia was internationally recognised until full Indonesian independence on 27 December 1949. The city, now renamed Jakarta, was officially proclaimed the national capital of Indonesia.

===Independence era===

After [[Social:World War II|World War II]] ended, Indonesian nationalists declared independence on 17 August 1945,{{sfn|Waworoentoe|2013}} and the government of Jakarta City was changed into the Jakarta National Administration in the following month. During the Indonesian National Revolution, Indonesian Republicans withdrew from Allied-occupied Jakarta and established their capital in [[Place:Yogyakarta|Yogyakarta]].

Environmental advocates point out that subsidence is driven by the extraction of groundwater, much of it illegal. Furthermore, the government's lack of strict regulation amplifies the issue as many recently built high-rise buildings, corporations, and factories around Jakarta opt for illegally extracting groundwater.

Colonial buildings and structures include those that were constructed during the colonial period. The dominant colonial styles can be divided into three periods: the Dutch Golden Age (17th to late 18th century), the transitional style period (late 18th century – 19th century), and Dutch modernism (20th century). Colonial architecture is apparent in houses and villas, churches, civic buildings and offices, mostly concentrated in the Jakarta Old Town and Central Jakarta. Architects such as J.C. Schultze and Eduard Cuypers designed some of the significant buildings. Schultze's works include Jakarta Art Building, the Indonesia Supreme Court Building and Ministry of Finance Building, while Cuypers designed Bank Indonesia Museum and Mandiri Museum. In the early 20th century, most buildings were built in Neo-Renaissance style. By the 1920s, the architectural taste had begun to shift in favour of rationalism and [[Philosophy:Modernism|modernism]], particularly art deco architecture. The elite suburb Menteng, developed during the 1910s, was the city's first attempt at creating an ideal and healthy housing for the middle class. The original houses had a longitudinal organisation, with overhanging eaves, large windows and open ventilation, all practical features for a tropical climate.<ref>{{cite news |last=Wilson |first=Willy |url=http://m.thejakartapost.com/news/2012/07/11/building-past.html |title=Building on the Past |work=The Jakarta Post |date=11 July 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305084422/http://m.thejakartapost.com/news/2012/07/11/building-past.html |archive-date=5 March 2016}}</ref> These houses were developed by N.V. de Bouwploeg, and established by P.A.J.

After independence, the process of nation-building in Indonesia and demolishing the memory of colonialism was as important as the symbolic building of arterial roads, monuments, and government buildings. The National Monument in Jakarta, designed by Sukarno, is Indonesia's beacon of nationalism. In the early 1960s, Jakarta provided highways and super-scale cultural monuments as well as Senayan Sports Stadium. The parliament building features a hyperbolic roof reminiscent of German rationalist and Corbusian design concepts.{{sfn|Bishop|Phillips|Yeo|2003|p=198}} Built-in 1996, Wisma 46 soars to a height of {{cvt|262|m|abbr=off}} and its nib-shaped top celebrates technology and symbolises stereoscopy.

===Landmarks===
[[File:Jakarta Bundaran HI .jpg|thumb|right|Bundaran HI, a 1960s landmark of Jakarta located at the west end of Menteng District]]

Most landmarks, monuments and statues in Jakarta were begun in the 1960s during the Sukarno era, then completed in the [[Biography:Suharto|Suharto]] era, while some date from the colonial period. Although many of the projects were completed after his presidency, Sukarno, who was an architect, is credited for planning Jakarta's monuments and landmarks, as he desired the city to be the beacon of a powerful new nation. Among the monumental projects that were built, initiated, and planned during his administration are the National Monument, Istiqlal mosque, the Legislature Building, and the Gelora Bung Karno stadium. Sukarno also built many nationalistic monuments and statues in the capital city.{{sfn|Silver|2007|p=101}}

[[File:Jakarta Panorama.jpg|thumb|left|Monas, Jakarta's symbol]]
The most famous landmark, which became the symbol of the city, is the {{cvt|132|m|ft|adj=mid|abbr=off|-tall}} obelisk of the National Monument (''Monumen Nasional'' or ''Monas'') in the centre of Merdeka Square. On its southwest corner stands a [[Religion:Mahabharata|Mahabharata]]-themed Arjuna Wijaya chariot statue and fountain. Further south through Jalan M.H. Thamrin, one of the main avenues, the ''Selamat Datang'' monument stands on the fountain in the centre of the Hotel Indonesia roundabout. Other landmarks include the Istiqlal Mosque, Jakarta Cathedral and the Immanuel Church. The former Batavia Stadhuis, Sunda Kelapa port in Jakarta Old Town is another landmark. The Autograph Tower in Central Jakarta, at 382.9&nbsp;metres is the tallest building in Indonesia. The most recent landmark built is the Jakarta International Stadium.

Some of the statues and monuments are nationalist, such as the West Irian Liberation Monument, the Tugu Tani, the Youth statue and the Dirgantara Monument. Some statues commemorate Indonesian national heroes, such as the Diponegoro and Kartini statues in Merdeka Square. The Sudirman and Thamrin statues are located on the streets bearing their names. There is also a statue of Sukarno and Hatta at the Proclamation Monument as well as at the entrance to Soekarno–Hatta International Airport.

Jakarta is pluralistic and religiously diverse, without a majority ethnic group. As of 2010, 36.17% of the city's population were Javanese, 28.29% Betawi (locally established mixed race, cemented by diverse creole), 14.61% Sundanese, 6.62% Chinese, 3.42% [[Social:Batak|Batak]], 2.85% Minangkabau, 0.96% Malays, Indo and others 7.08%.

[[File:Tari Yapong.jpg|thumb|Betawi people are the "natives" of Jakarta.]]
The 'Betawi' ({{lang|id|Orang Betawi}}, or 'people of Batavia') are immigrant descendants of the old city who became widely recognised as an ethnic group by the mid-19th century. They mostly descend from an eclectic mix of Southeast Asians brought or attracted to meet labour needs.<ref>These cement the pluralism in ethnic and national identities found in contemporary Jakarta;{{harvnb|Knörr|2007|p=263}}</ref> They are thus a creole ethnic group who came from much of Indonesia. Over generations, most have intermarried with one or more ethnicities, especially people of Chinese, Arab and European descent.{{sfn|Sáenz|Embrick|Rodriguez|2015|p=?}} Most Betawis lived in the fringe zones with few Betawi-majority zones of central Jakarta.{{sfn|Iyer|2001|p=23}} It is thus a conundrum for some Javanese people, especially multi-generational Jakarta residents, to identify as either Javanese or Betawi since living in a Betawi-majority district and speaking more of that creole and adapting is a matter of preference for such families.

A significant Chinese community has lived in Jakarta for many centuries. They traditionally reside around old urban areas, such as Pinangsia, PIK, Pluit and Glodok (Jakarta's Chinatown) areas. They also can be found in the old Chinatowns of Senen and Jatinegara. As of 2001 they self-identified as being 5.5%, which was thought of as under-reported;<ref>{{cite news |last=Johnston |first=Tim |title=Chinese diaspora: Indonesia |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/4312805.stm |url-status=live |publisher=BBC News |date=3 March 2005 |access-date=30 November 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071223170116/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/4312805.stm |archive-date=23 December 2007}}</ref> this explains the 6.6% figure ten years later.

The Sumatran residents are diverse. According to the 2020 census, roughly 361,000 [[Social:Batak|Batak]]; 300,960 Minangkabau and 101,370 Malays lived in the city. The number of Batak people has grown in ranking, from eighth in 1930 to fifth in 2000. [[Social:Toba Batak people|Toba Batak]] is the largest subset in Jakarta.{{sfn|Reid|2010|p=170}} Working Minangkabau in the 1980s in high proportions were well-embedded merchants, artisans, doctors, teachers or journalists.<ref>Board of Editors, Contributions to Southeast Asian Ethnography, 1987</ref>{{sfn|Naim|1971|p=115-131}} Minang merchants are found in traditional markets, such as Tanah Abang and Senen.{{sfn|Adya|2022|p=125}}

===Language===
[[Social:Indonesian language|Indonesian]] is the official and dominant language of Jakarta, while many elderly people speak [[Social:Dutch language|Dutch]] or [[Social:Chinese language|Chinese]], depending on their upbringing. [[Social:English language|English]] is used for communication, especially in Central and South Jakarta.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/26/world/asia/26indo.html |title=As English Spreads, Indonesians Fear for Their Language |newspaper=The New York Times |date=26 July 2010 |access-date=11 August 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190811160323/https://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/26/world/asia/26indo.html |archive-date=11 August 2019 |url-status=live|last1=Onishi |first1=Norimitsu }}</ref> Each of the ethnic groups uses their mother tongue at home, such as Betawi, [[Social:Javanese language|Javanese]], and [[Social:Sundanese language|Sundanese]]. The Betawi language is distinct from those of the Sundanese or Javanese, forming itself as a [[Social:Language island|language island]] in the surrounding area. It is mostly based on the East Malay dialect and enriched by loan words from [[Social:Dutch language|Dutch]], [[Social:Portuguese language|Portuguese]], [[Social:Sundanese language|Sundanese]], [[Social:Javanese language|Javanese]], Chinese, and [[Social:Arabic|Arabic]]. Over time, many Betawi words and phrases became integrated into Indonesian as Jakartan [[Social:Slang|slang]], and is used by most people regardless of their ethnic background.

The Chinese in Jakarta mainly speak Indonesian and English due to a strict language ban during Soeharto's New Order era; older people may be fluent in Hokkien dialect and Mandarin, meanwhile the youngsters are only fluent in Indonesian and English, some educated in Mandarin. With the recent urbanization of Chinese communities from several rural areas in Indonesia, other Chinese dialects have been brought into the Chinese community in Jakarta, such as Hakka, Teochew and Cantonese. [[Social:Hokkien|Hokkien]], which is mainly from Sumatra (Medan, Bagansiapiapi, Batam) is mostly spoken in Northern Jakarta, such as in Pantai Indah Kapuk, Pluit, and Kelapa Gading, meanwhile Hakka and Teochew, which are derived from the Chinese communities in Pontianak and Singkawang, are mainly spoken in West Jakarta, like in Tambora and Grogol Petamburan.

The Batak in Jakarta mostly speak Indonesian, while the older generation tends to speak their native languages, such as Batak Toba, Mandailing, and Karo, depending on which ancestral towns and places in North Sumatra they come from. The Minangkabau mainly speak [[Social:Minangkabau language|Minangkabau]] together with Indonesian.

==Culture==
[[File:Stamps of Indonesia, 044-08.jpg|right|thumb|''Ondel-ondel'' puppets are the mascot of the city and the symbol of Betawi culture.]]
As the capital of Indonesia, Jakarta is a melting pot of cultures from all ethnic groups of the country. Though Betawi people are an indigenous community of Jakarta, the city's culture represents many languages and ethnic groups, supports differences regarding religion, traditions and linguistics, rather than any single and dominant culture.

===Arts and festivals===
[[File:Tanjidor, by M Jeffry Hanafiah.jpg|thumb|Tanjidor music demonstrates European influence]]

The Betawi culture is distinct from those of the Sundanese or Javanese, forming a [[Social:Language island|language island]] in the surrounding area. Betawi arts have a "low profile" in Jakarta, and most Betawi people have moved to the suburbs. The cultures of the Javanese and other Indonesian ethnic groups have a "higher profile" than that of the Betawi. There is a significant Chinese influence in Betawi culture, reflected in the popularity of Chinese cakes and sweets, firecrackers and Betawi wedding attire that demonstrates Chinese and Arab influences.

Some festivals such as the ''Jalan Jaksa Festival'', ''Kemang Festival'', ''Festival Condet'' and ''Lebaran Betawi'' include efforts to preserve Betawi arts by inviting artists to display performances.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2015/08/23/lebaran-betawi-an-event-maintain-bonds-and-traditions.html |title=Lebaran Betawi: An event to maintain bonds and traditions |newspaper=The Jakarta Post |access-date=27 July 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190727113539/https://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2015/08/23/lebaran-betawi-an-event-maintain-bonds-and-traditions.html |archive-date=27 July 2019 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://megapolitan.kompas.com/read/2019/07/27/16343861/festival-condet-2019-upaya-untuk-lestarikan-budaya-betawi |title=Festival Condet 2019, Upaya untuk Lestarikan Budaya Betawi |newspaper=Kompas |access-date=27 July 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190727111921/https://megapolitan.kompas.com/read/2019/07/27/16343861/festival-condet-2019-upaya-untuk-lestarikan-budaya-betawi |archive-date=27 July 2019 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{harvnb|Knörr|2007}}</ref> Jakarta has several performing art centres, such as the classical concert hall Aula Simfonia Jakarta in Kemayoran, Taman Ismail Marzuki (TIM) art centre in Cikini, Gedung Kesenian Jakarta near Pasar Baru, Balai Sarbini in the Plaza Semanggi area, Bentara Budaya Jakarta in the Palmerah area, Pasar Seni (Art Market) in Ancol, and traditional Indonesian art performances at the pavilions of some provinces in Taman Mini Indonesia Indah.

===Cuisine===
[[File:Soto Betawi Jakarta Street Side Food.JPG|thumb|''Soto Betawi'', mainly consisting of offal in creamy milk or coconut milk soup]]
All varieties of Indonesian cuisine have a presence in Jakarta. The local cuisine is Betawi cuisine, which reflects various foreign culinary traditions. Betawi cuisine is heavily influenced by Malay-Chinese Peranakan cuisine, Sundanese and Javanese cuisine, which is also influenced by Indian, Arabic and European cuisines. One of the most popular local dishes of Betawi cuisine is ''Soto Betawi'' which is prepared from chunks of beef and offal in rich and spicy cow's milk or coconut milk broth. Other popular Betawi dishes include ''soto kaki, nasi uduk (''mixed rice''), kerak telor'' (spicy omelette), ''nasi ulam, asinan, ketoprak, rujak'' and ''gado-gado'' Betawi (salad in peanut sauce).

Jakarta cuisine can be found in modest street-side ''warung'' food stalls and [[Finance:Hawker (trade)|Hawkers]] travelling vendors to high-end fine dining restaurants.<ref>{{cite news |last=Tanjung |first=Intan |url=http://www.thejakartapost.com/life/2016/07/23/where-to-go-for-a-drink-and-to-dress-up-to-impress.html |title=Where to go for a drink and to dress up to impress |newspaper=The Jakarta Post |access-date=10 December 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171210180351/http://www.thejakartapost.com/life/2016/07/23/where-to-go-for-a-drink-and-to-dress-up-to-impress.html |archive-date=10 December 2017 |url-status=live}}</ref> Live music venues and exclusive restaurants are abundant.<ref>{{cite news |last=Parker |first=Simon |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/asia/indonesia/jakarta/articles/36-hours-in-jakarta/ |title=36 Hours in...

===Media and entertainment===
[[File:TVRITower.jpg|thumb|upright|The main TV tower of TVRI at its headquarters in Jakarta]]

Jakarta is home to most of the Indonesian national newspapers, besides some local-based newspapers. Daily local newspapers in Jakarta are ''Pos Kota'' and ''Warta Kota'', as well as the now-defunct ''Indopos''. National newspapers based in Jakarta include ''Kompas'' and ''Media Indonesia'', most of them have a news segment covering the city. A number of business newspapers (''Bisnis Indonesia'', ''Investor Daily'' and ''Kontan'') and sports newspaper (''Super Ball'') are also published.

Newspapers other than in Indonesian, mainly for a national and global audience, are also published daily. Examples are English-language newspapers ''The Jakarta Post'' and online-only ''The Jakarta Globe''. [[Social:Chinese language|Chinese language]] newspapers also circulate, such as ''Indonesia Shang Bao'' (印尼商报), ''Harian Indonesia'' (印尼星洲日报), and ''Guo Ji Ri Bao'' (国际日报). The only [[Social:Japanese language|Japanese language]] newspaper is ''The Daily Jakarta Shimbun'' (じゃかるた新聞).

Around 75 radio stations broadcast in Jakarta, 52 on the [[Physics:Frequency modulation|FM]] band, and 23 on the [[Physics:Amplitude modulation|AM]] band. Radio entities are based in Jakarta, for example, national radio networks MNC Trijaya FM, Prambors FM, Trax FM, I-Radio, Hard Rock FM, Delta FM, Global FM  and the public radio RRI; as well as local stations Gen FM, Radio Elshinta and Z99,9.

Jakarta is the headquarters for Indonesia's public television TVRI as well as private national television networks, such as Metro TV, tvOne, Kompas TV, RCTI and NET. Jakarta has local television channels such as TVRI Jakarta, JakTV, Elshinta TV and KTV. Many TV stations are analogue [[Engineering:PAL|PAL]], but some are now converting to digital signals using [[Engineering:DVB-T2|DVB-T2]] following a [[Engineering:Digital terrestrial television in Indonesia|government plan to digital television migration]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.tvdigital.kominfo.go.id/berita/2-siaran-tv-digital.html |title=TV Digital Indonesia – Siaran TV Digital |access-date=7 March 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120701193202/http://www.tvdigital.kominfo.go.id/berita/2-siaran-tv-digital.html |archive-date=1 July 2012 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

==Government and politics==
[[File:Balaikota DKI Jakarta.jpg|thumb|The Jakarta governor's office at the Jakarta City Hall]]
Jakarta is administratively equal to a province with special status. The executive branch is headed by an elected governor and a vice governor, while the Jakarta Regional People's Representative Council ({{lang-id|Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Daerah Provinsi Daerah Khusus Ibukota Jakarta}}, DPRD DKI Jakarta) is the legislative branch with 106 directly elected members. The Jakarta City Hall at the south of Merdeka Square houses the office of the governor and the vice governor, and serves as the main administrative office.

Executive governance consists of five administrative cities ({{lang-id|Kota Administrasi}}), each headed by a [[Social:Mayor|mayor]] (w''alikota)'' and one administrative regency ({{lang-id|Kabupaten Administrasi}}) headed by a regent (''bupati''). Unlike other cities and regencies in Indonesia where the mayor or regent is directly elected, Jakarta's mayors and regents are chosen by the governor. Each city and regency is divided into administrative districts.

Aside from representatives to the provincial parliament, Jakarta sends 21 delegates to the national lower house parliament. The representatives are elected from Jakarta's three national electoral districts, which also include overseas voters.<ref>{{cite news |title=Ini 21 Caleg DPR yang Terpilih dari DKI Jakarta |url=https://news.detik.com/berita/2582777/ini-21-caleg-dpr-yang-terpilih-dari-dki-jakarta |access-date=14 August 2018 |website=detik.com |date=14 May 2014 |language=id |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180814103209/https://news.detik.com/berita/2582777/ini-21-caleg-dpr-yang-terpilih-dari-dki-jakarta |archive-date=14 August 2018 |url-status=live}}</ref> It also sends 4 delegates, just like other provinces, to the national upper house parliament.

The Jakarta Smart City (JSC) program was launched on 14 December 2014 with the goal for smart governance, smart people, smart mobility, smart economy, smart living and a smart environment in the city using the web and various smartphone-based apps.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2019/01/14/four-years-on-ahoks-smart-city-legacy-lives-on.html |title=Four years on, Ahok's 'Smart City' legacy lives on |newspaper=The Jakarta Post |access-date=14 January 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190114153327/https://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2019/01/14/four-years-on-ahoks-smart-city-legacy-lives-on.html |archive-date=14 January 2019 |url-status=live}}</ref>

===Public safety===
The Greater Jakarta Metropolitan Regional Police ({{lang-id|Polda Metro Jaya}}) is the police force that is responsible to maintain law, security, and order for the Jakarta metropolitan area. It is led by a two-star police general (Inspector General of Police) with the title of "Greater Jakarta Regional Police Chief" ({{lang-id|Kepala Kepolisian Daerah Metro Jaya}}, abbreviated {{lang|id|Kapolda Metro Jaya}}). Its office is located at Jl. Jenderal Sudirman Kav. 55, Senayan, Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta and their hotline emergency number is 110.

The Jayakarta Military Regional Command ({{lang-id|Komando Daerah Militer Jayakarta}}, abbreviated {{lang|id|Kodam Jaya}}) is the territorial army of the Indonesian Army, which serves as a defence component for Jakarta and its surrounding areas (Greater Jakarta). It is led by an army Major General with the title of "Jakarta Military Regional Commander" ({{lang-id|Panglima Daerah Militer Kodam Jaya}}, abbreviated {{lang|id|Pangdam Jaya}}). The Jakarta Military Command is located at East Jakarta and oversees several military battalions ready for defending the capital city and its vital installations. It also assists the Jakarta Metropolitan Police during certain tasks, such as supporting security during state visits, VVIP security, and [[Social:Riot control|riot control]].

===Municipal finances===
The Jakarta provincial government relies on transfers from the central government for the bulk of its income. Local (non-central government) sources of revenue are incomes from various taxes such as vehicle ownership and vehicle transfer fees, among others.<ref>'Taxpayer money for the city', ''The Jakarta Post'', 16 July 2011.</ref> The ability of the regional government to respond to Jakarta's many problems is constrained by limited finances.

The provincial government consistently runs a surplus of between 15 and 20% of planned spending, primarily because of delays in procurement and other inefficiencies.<ref>{{cite news |last=Dewi |first=Sita W. |date=2013-12-09 |title=Jokowi spends less, provides more than Foke, say observers |newspaper=The Jakarta Post |url=https://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2013/12/09/jokowi-spends-less-provides-more-foke-say-observers.html |access-date=2021-10-19 |archive-date=28 October 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211028233100/https://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2013/12/09/jokowi-spends-less-provides-more-foke-say-observers.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Regular under-spending is a matter of public comment.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2016/01/29/editorial-regional-budgets-underspent.html |title=Editorial: Regional budgets underspent |newspaper=The Jakarta Post |access-date=8 October 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161010174954/http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2016/01/29/editorial-regional-budgets-underspent.html |archive-date=10 October 2016 |url-status=live}}</ref> In 2013, the budget was around Rp 50&nbsp;trillion ($US5.2&nbsp;billion), equivalent to around $US380 per citizen.

===Administrative divisions===
[[File:Special Capital Region of Jakarta.png|thumb|Map of the administrative cities ({{lang|id|Kota administratif}}) in Jakarta province; the Thousand Islands Regency (to the north) is shown on lower left. Each administrative city is further divided into districts (''Kecamatan'').]]
Jakarta consists of five ''Kota Administratif'' (Administrative cities/municipalities), each headed by a mayor, and one ''Kabupaten Administratif'' (Administrative regency). Each city and regency is divided into districts (''kecamatan''). The administrative cities/municipalities of Jakarta are:
*Central Jakarta ({{lang|id|Jakarta Pusat}}) is Jakarta's smallest city and administrative and political centre. It is divided into eight districts. It is characterised by large parks and Dutch colonial buildings. Landmarks include the National Monument (Monas), Istiqlal Mosque, Jakarta Cathedral and museums.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.jakarta.go.id/en/pemerintahan/kotamadya/jakpus/default.asp |title=Central Jakarta Profile |work=The City Jakarta Administration |publisher=Jakarta.go.id |access-date=19 December 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090911220356/http://www.jakarta.go.id/en/pemerintahan/kotamadya/jakpus/default.asp |archive-date=11 September 2009}}</ref>
*West Jakarta ({{lang|id|Jakarta Barat}}) has the city's highest concentration of small-scale industries. It has eight districts. The area includes Jakarta's Chinatown and Dutch colonial landmarks such as the Chinese Langgam building and Toko Merah. It contains part of Jakarta Old Town.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.jakarta.go.id/en/pemerintahan/kotamadya/jakbar/default.asp |title=West Jakarta Profile |work=The City Jakarta Administration |publisher=Jakarta.go.id |access-date=24 February 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090911220346/http://www.jakarta.go.id/en/pemerintahan/kotamadya/jakbar/default.asp |archive-date=11 September 2009}}</ref>
*South Jakarta ({{lang|id|Jakarta Selatan}}), originally planned as a satellite city, is now the location of upscale shopping centres and affluent residential areas. It has ten districts and functions as Jakarta's [[Earth:Groundwater|groundwater]] buffer,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.jakarta.go.id/en/pemerintahan/kotamadya/jaksel/ |title=South Jakarta Profile |work=The City Jakarta Administration |publisher=Jakarta.go.id |access-date=19 December 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090705203755/http://www.jakarta.go.id/en/pemerintahan/kotamadya/jaksel/ |archive-date=5 July 2009}}</ref> but recently the green belt areas are threatened by new developments. Much of the central business district is concentrated in Kebayoran Baru, Setiabudi, a small part in Tebet, Pancoran, Mampang Prapatan, and bordering the Tanah Abang/Sudirman area of Central Jakarta. The area is known as the Jakarta Golden Triangle.
*East Jakarta ({{lang|id|Jakarta Timur}}) territory is characterised by several industrial sectors.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.jakarta.go.id/en/pemerintahan/kotamadya/jaktim/default.asp |title=East Jakarta Profile |work=The City Jakarta Administration |publisher=Jakarta.go.id |access-date=19 December 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091014184630/http://www.jakarta.go.id/en/pemerintahan/kotamadya/jaktim/default.asp |archive-date=14 October 2009}}</ref> Also located in East Jakarta are Taman Mini Indonesia Indah and Halim Perdanakusuma International Airport. This city has ten districts.
*North Jakarta ({{lang|id|Jakarta Utara}}) is bounded by the Java Sea. It is the location of Port of Tanjung Priok. Large- and medium-scale industries are concentrated there. It contains part of Jakarta Old Town, which was the centre of VOC trade activity during the colonial era. Also located in North Jakarta is Ancol Dreamland ({{lang|id|Taman Impian Jaya Ancol}}), the largest integrated tourism area in Southeast Asia.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.jakarta.go.id/en/pemerintahan/kotamadya/jakut/default.asp |title=North Jakarta Profile |work=The City Jakarta Administration |publisher=Jakarta.go.id |access-date=19 December 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090913084331/http://www.jakarta.go.id/en/pemerintahan/kotamadya/jakut/default.asp |archive-date=13 September 2009}}</ref> North Jakarta is divided into six districts.

The only administrative regency ({{lang|id|kabupaten}}) of Jakarta is the Thousand Islands ({{lang|id|Kepulauan Seribu}}), formerly a district within North Jakarta. It is a collection of 105 small islands located on the Java Sea. It is of high conservation value because of its unique ecosystems. Marine tourism, such as diving, water bicycling, and windsurfing, are the primary tourist activities in this territory. The main mode of transportation between the islands is speed boats or small ferries.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.jakarta.go.id/en/pemerintahan/kotamadya/kepseribu |title="Thousand Island" Profile |work=The City Jakarta Administration |publisher=Jakarta.go.id |access-date=19 December 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090616124511/http://www.jakarta.go.id/en/pemerintahan/kotamadya/kepseribu/ |archive-date=16 June 2009}}</ref>

To transform the city into a more livable one, a ten-year ''urban regeneration'' project was undertaken, for Rp 571&nbsp;trillion ($40.5&nbsp;billion). The project aimed to develop infrastructure, including the creation of a better integrated public transit system and the improvement of the city's clean water and wastewater systems, housing and flood control systems.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2020/06/21/capital-or-not-jakarta-looks-toward-urban-regeneration.html |title=Capital or not, Jakarta looks toward urban regeneration |newspaper=The Jakarta Post |access-date=21 June 2020 |archive-date=21 June 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200621164407/https://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2020/06/21/capital-or-not-jakarta-looks-toward-urban-regeneration.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

===Healthcare===
Jakarta has many of the country's best-equipped private and public healthcare facilities.

Government-run hospitals are of a good standard but are often overcrowded. Government-run specialised hospitals include Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Gatot Soebroto Army Hospital, as well as community hospitals and puskesmas. Other options for healthcare services include private hospitals and clinics. The private healthcare sector has seen significant changes, since the government began allowing foreign investment in the private sector in 2010. While some private facilities are run by nonprofit or religious organisations, most are for-profit. Hospital chains such as Siloam, Pondok Indah Hospital Group, Mayapada, Mitra Keluarga, Medika, Medistra, Ciputra, Radjak Hospital Group, RS Bunda Group, and Hermina operate in the city.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.thejakartapost.com/academia/2016/09/27/indonesias-health-care-industry-is-on-the-rise.html |title=Indonesia's health care industry is on the rise |newspaper=The Jakarta Post |access-date=21 December 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171222052122/http://www.thejakartapost.com/academia/2016/09/27/indonesias-health-care-industry-is-on-the-rise.html |archive-date=22 December 2017 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.tribunnews.com/nasional/2013/10/25/mayapada-hospital-jakarta-selatan-diresmikan |title=Mayapada Hospital Jakarta Selatan Diresmikan |newspaper=Tribun News |access-date=21 December 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171222052329/http://www.tribunnews.com/nasional/2013/10/25/mayapada-hospital-jakarta-selatan-diresmikan |archive-date=22 December 2017 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Jadwal Dokter|url=https://cloudmedis.com/jadwal-dokter/|website=cloudmedis.com|language=|access-date=2023-05-06}}</ref>

===Water supply===
Two private companies, PALYJA and Aetra, provide piped water in the western and eastern half of Jakarta respectively under 25-year concession contracts signed in 1998. A public asset holding company called PAM Jaya owns the infrastructure. Eighty per cent of the water distributed in Jakarta comes through the West Tarum Canal system from Jatiluhur reservoir on the [[Earth:Citarum River|Citarum River]], {{cvt|70|km|0}} southeast of the city. The water supply was privatised by President Suharto in 1998 to the French company Suez Environnement and the British company Thames Water International. Both companies subsequently sold their concessions to Indonesian companies. Customer growth in the first seven years of the concessions had been lower than before, possibly because of substantial inflation-adjusted tariff increases during this period. In 2005, tariffs were frozen, leading private water companies to cut down on investments.

According to PALYJA, the service coverage ratio increased substantially from 34% (1998) to 65% (2010) in the western half of the concession.<ref>{{cite web |title=Key Figures |url=http://en.palyja.co.id/profile/key-figures/ |access-date=20 November 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120426001736/http://en.palyja.co.id/profile/key-figures/ |archive-date=26 April 2012}}</ref> According to data by the Jakarta Water Supply Regulatory Body, access in the eastern half of the city served by PTJ increased from about 57% in 1998 to about 67% in 2004 but stagnated afterwards.<ref>{{Cite thesis |last=Iwan |first=Renalia |title=Ten Years of Public Private Partnership in Jakarta Drinking Water Service (1998–2007): Eastern Jakarta Drinking Water Service by Thames PAM Jaya |date=2008 |url=http://researcharchive.vuw.ac.nz/handle/10063/978 |language=en-NZ |access-date=16 November 2021 |archive-date=16 November 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211116222402/http://researcharchive.vuw.ac.nz/handle/10063/978 |url-status=live }}</ref> However, other sources cite much lower access figures for piped water supply to houses, excluding access provided through public hydrants: one study estimated access as low as 25% in 2005,<ref>{{Cite report |url=http://hdr.undp.org/en/content/disconnected-poverty-water-supply-and-development-jakarta-indonesia |title=Disconnected: Poverty, Water Supply and Development in Jakarta, Indonesia |last1=Bakker |first1=Karen |last2=Kooy |first2=Michelle |date=2006 |publisher=[[Organization:United Nations Development Programme|UNDP]] |publication-date=2013-10-17 |quote=Personal Communication from Kris Tutuko, Technical Director PAM JAYA, Jakarta, Indonesia (was quoted – seems difficult to understand). |last3=Shofiani |first3=Nur Endah |last4=Martijn |first4=Ernst-Jan |access-date=16 November 2021 |archive-date=29 August 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220829213725/https://hdr.undp.org/content/disconnected-poverty-water-supply-and-development-jakarta-indonesia |url-status=live }}</ref> while another estimated it to be as low as 18.5% in 2011.<ref>{{cite web |last=KRuHA People's coalition for the water rights |title=Poor Water Service, Most of Jakarta People Threatened by E-Coli |url=http://www.kruha.org/page/en/dinamic_detil/50/194/Press_Releases/Poor_Water_Service__Most_of_Jakarta_People_Threatened_by_E_Coli.html |access-date=20 November 2011 |date=7 June 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120426001731/http://www.kruha.org/page/en/dinamic_detil/50/194/Press_Releases/Poor_Water_Service__Most_of_Jakarta_People_Threatened_by_E_Coli.html |archive-date=26 April 2012 |url-status=dead}}</ref> Those without access to piped water get water mostly from wells that are often salty and unsanitary.

==International relations==

===International organisations===
Jakarta hosts foreign embassies. Jakarta also serves as the seat of Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Headquarters and is ASEAN's diplomatic capital.<ref>{{cite web |title=Jakarta is Affirmed to be a Diplomatic Capital City |work=Association of Southeast Asian Nations |url=http://www.asean.org/jakarta-is-affirmed-to-be-a-diplomatic-capital-city/ |access-date=28 April 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160531081257/http://asean.org/jakarta-is-affirmed-to-be-a-diplomatic-capital-city/ |archive-date=31 May 2016 |url-status=live}}</ref>

Jakarta is a member of the Asian Network of Major Cities 21, [[Organization:C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group|C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group]] and [[Finance:ASEAN Smart Cities Network|ASEAN Smart Cities Network]].

===Twin towns – sister cities===
Jakarta signed sister city agreements with other cities, including [[Place:Casablanca|Casablanca]]. To promote friendship between the two cities, the main avenue famous for its shopping and business centres was named after Jakarta's Moroccan sister city. No street in Casablanca is named after Jakarta. However, the Moroccan capital city of Rabat has an avenue named after Sukarno, Indonesia's first president, to commemorate his visit in 1960 and as a token of friendship.<ref name="JakartaPost2">{{cite news |url=http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2009/07/30/morocco-seeks-boost-business-ties-with-ri-envoy.html |title=Morocco seeks to boost business ties with RI: Envoy |first=Veeramalla |last=Anjaiah |date=30 July 2009 |newspaper=The Jakarta Post |access-date= 14 June 2013 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20171114064731/http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2009/07/30/morocco-seeks-boost-business-ties-with-ri-envoy.html |archive-date=14 November 2017 |url-status=live}}</ref>

===Cooperation and friendship===
Jakarta has established a partnership with Rotterdam, especially on integrated urban water management, including capacity-building and knowledge exchange.<ref name="NESO">{{cite news |title=Jakarta and Rotterdam strengthen ties on urban water management |date=16 September 2014 |work=Neso Indonesia |url=http://www.nesoindonesia.or.id/berita/2014/september/jakarta-and-rotterdam-strengthen-ties-on-urban-water-management |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160807135334/http://www.nesoindonesia.or.id/berita/2014/september/jakarta-and-rotterdam-strengthen-ties-on-urban-water-management |archive-date=7 August 2016}}</ref> This cooperation is mainly because both cities are dealing with similar problems; they lie in low-lying flat plains and are prone to flooding. Additionally, they have both implemented drainage systems involving canals, dams, and pumps vital for both cities for below-sea-level areas.
