⭐ Core Definition: Tangerang Regency

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.

It is the second-largest city in Banten (after Tangerang immediately to its north) in terms of population, and has grown rapidly, not only as Jakarta's satellite city, but also the development of business districts and commerce due to presence of large-scale planned town by private developers.

South Tangerang is home to some planned towns built by private developers, the notable ones are Alam Sutera (in North Serpong), BSD City (in Serpong and Setu), and Bintaro Jaya (in Pondok Aren and Ciputat), complete with facilities such as business centers, hospitals, shopping malls, and international schools such as British School Jakarta, Global Jaya School, German School Jakarta (Deutsche Schule Jakarta), and a Monash University campus in BSD, among other prominent private universities. Currently, the average land price in South Tangerang is the most expensive among Jakarta's satellite cities.

Tangerang Regency in the context of Betawi people

Betawi people or Batavians (Orang Betawi in Indonesian, meaning "people of Batavia"), are an Austronesian ethnic group native to the city of Jakarta and its immediate outskirts, as such often described as the inhabitants of the city. They are the descendants of the people who inhabited Batavia (the Dutch colonial name of Jakarta) from the 17th century onwards.

The term Betawi people emerged in the 18th century as an amalgamation of various ethnic groups into Batavia. In this modern era, people of various ethnicities, especially Sundanese people, who have long inhabited Greater Jakarta, forgetting their language and switching to Betawi, can also be called Betawi people. Although if they are related by blood, they are more like people who still speak Sundanese language in the outskirts, especially in Bekasi, Bogor, and Tangerang.
