The Review Report of the Jabotabek Metropolitan Development Plan (JMDP) suggests a 2005 figure of around 13.3-13.5 million, which might be more realistic. The average population density in 1980 in DKI Jakarta was about 9,000 persons/km 2 and in 1990 it became more than 12,000 persons/km 2 (table 11.5).















In 2000, Jabotabek had a population of approximately 20.6 million, which by 2010 had risen to 28.0 million (Figure 2). Jabotabek's unexpectedly high growth was greater than the 6.6 million added in both the Shanghai and Manila regions over the same period and above the 5.8 million increase in the Beijing region.
