Which densely populated Indonesian metropolis is located on the island of Java?

Fact

Did you know?

Jakarta is located on the northwest coast of Java and is Indonesia's largest urban area and its main economic center. The city faces congestion, flooding, pollution and land subsidence made worse by groundwater pumping. Indonesia is developing Nusantara, Borneo, to gradually transfer national functions there. The legal status of capital, however, depends on the institutional calendar and a presidential decree, which makes the expression “current capital” likely to quickly become obsolete. Describing Jakarta as an Indonesian metropolis located in Java preserves the geographical fact without fixing a political transition.
