South Tangerang in the context of "Jakarta"

Tangerang (Sundanese: ᮒᮍᮨᮛᮀ, Indonesian pronunciation: [ˈt̪aŋəɾaŋ] ) is the city with the largest population in the province of Banten, Indonesia. Located on the western border of Jakarta and bordered with South Tangerang city, Tangerang is the sixth largest city proper in the nation (excluding Jakarta, which is classed as a province containing five administrative cities and one regency). Tangerang is home to Soekarno–Hatta International Airport, the primary airport serving the Jakarta metropolitan area.

The city is an industrial and manufacturing hub for the island of Java and is home to over 1,000 factories. It has an area of 164.55 km (63.53 sq mi) and an official 2010 Census population of 1,798,601, which had risen to 1,895,486 at the 2020 Census, making it the eighth most populated suburb in the world at the latter date. In 2024, the population was estimated to be 1,927,815, consisting of 968,776 men and 959,039 women.

Jakarta, officially the Special Region of Jakarta, is the de facto capital and largest city of Indonesia and an autonomous region at the provincial level. Lying on the northwest coast of Java, the world's most populous island, Jakarta is the largest metropole in Southeast Asia and serves as the Headquarters of ASEAN. The Special Region has a status equivalent to that of a province and is bordered by the province of West Java to the south and east and 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 has an estimated population of 41.9 million as of 2025, making it the largest urban area in Indonesia and the world; in addition of being ASEAN's second largest economy after Singapore.

Jakarta is the economic, cultural, and political centre of Indonesia. Although Jakarta extends over only 661.23 km (255.30 sq mi) and thus has the smallest area of any Indonesian province, its metropolitan area covers 7,076.31 km (2,732.18 sq mi), which includes the satellite cities of Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, South Tangerang, and Bekasi. Jakarta ranks first among the Indonesian provinces in the human development index. Jakarta's business and employment opportunities, along with its ability to offer a potentially higher standard of living compared to other parts of the country, have attracted migrants from across the Indonesian archipelago, making it a melting pot of numerous cultures.

Tangerang Regency is a regency (kabupaten) of Banten Province, Indonesia. It is located in the northwest of the island of Java. Though commonly misunderstood as being a part of Jakarta, Tangerang is actually outside Jakarta City but is part of Greater Jakarta (which is called Jabodetabek, Tangerang being the "ta" of the acronym). Originally created in 1950 and then including 1,371 km of territory to the west of Jakarta, since 1993 the regency has lost territory as first Tangerang city (Kota Tangerang) was split off on 27 February 1993 and subsequently South Tangerang city (Kota Tangerang Selatan) was split off on 29 October 2008.

The residual Regency now has an area of 1,030.81 km and a population of 2,834,376 at the 2010 census, growing to 3,245,619 at the 2020 census; the latest official estimate (for mid 2024) by the regency-level Indonesian Statistics Bureau is 3,416,163, reflecting a recent slowing down in the rate of population growth since 2020. However, the province-level organisation of the same Indonesian Statistics body has published its own total of 3,400,490 for the regency. If the two cities had not been split off in 1993 and 2008, on its original boundaries the regency would have had 6,764,000 inhabitants as at mid 2024, which would have given it the largest population of any regency in Indonesia.

The development of the township began within South Jakarta in 1979 and is expanded further to South Tangerang in Banten province. The township is built as a satellite city for Jakarta, with a total land area of about 1000 hectares. The name Bintaro is derived from the Bintaro Village, which also takes the name of Bintaro plant (Cerbera manghas), whereas Jaya came from the name of the developer. Bintaro Jaya along with Bumi Serpong Damai (BSD) is one of the largest township in Indonesia.

The British School Jakarta (BSJ) is an independent school in South Tangerang city, Indonesia. The city is in Banten province, although it is still part of the Greater Jakarta, Indonesia. The British School Jakarta is an international member of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference. It was established in Jakarta in 1973 under the auspices of the British Embassy. The main campus was relocated to Bintaro in 1994 to accommodate increasing numbers of students. The school offers classes for students from pre-school to Year 13 based on an inquiry-based, active, engaging, and dynamic curriculum. Kindergarten follows the UK Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), and Years 1-6 are based on the English National Curriculum (ENC) and an inquiry-based exploratory framework which covers foundation subjects. In Years 7-11, BSJ offers the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (IB MYP), while Years 12 and 13 have access to the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme(IB DP).

The school changed its name from British International School to British School Jakarta in 2014 to correspond to the Indonesian government's regulations on prohibiting the use of the word "international" in school names.
