🇮🇩 West Jakarta is one of the five administrative cities of the Special Capital Region of Jakarta, Indonesia. West Jakarta is not self-governed and does not have a city council, hence it is not classified as a proper municipality. The administrative centre of West Jakarta is at Puri Kembangan.

West Jakarta is bordered by Tangerang Regency and North Jakarta to the north, Central Jakarta to the east, South Jakarta to the south, and Tangerang city to the west.

History West Jakarta is famous for its Dutch colonial relics such as Town Hall Building (now Jakarta History Museum in Jakarta Old Town), Chinatown (Glodok) and also a number of old churches, mosques, and fortresses of early Dutch colonization in Batavia at that time.

Districts West Jakarta is subdivided into eight districts (kecamatan).

Economy After South Jakarta, West Jakarta is now designed to become a new business district for the Jakarta area and beyond. Particularly in Kembangan district, malls, entertainment centres, shopping centres, office centres, hospitals and schools has been built. This area becomes a strategic area because it is passed by the circuit of Outer Ring Road Jakarta (Jalan Lingkar Luar Jakarta).
