The Bandung Metropolitan Area, officially called the Bandung Basin (Sundanese: ᮎᮨᮊᮥᮍᮔ᮪ ᮘᮔ᮪ᮓᮥᮀ, romanized: Cekungan Bandung); [3] or Greater Bandung (Bandung Raya), is a metropolitan area surrounding the city of Bandung, West Java, Indonesia.[4] It was home to over nine million people in mid 2023 and is composed of regencies and cities previously part of the Dutch East Indies era "Central Priangan Residency" administration.
Due to ongoing development in urban areas between Bandung, Kertajati International Airport, Aerotropolis and Patimban International Seaport,[5] the West Java provincial government and the Regional Planning Board (BAPPEDA) has prepared and publicized a blueprint for a newly defined (extended) Bandung Metropolitan area with a total area more than 5,500 km2 and a population greater than 11 million people.
