South Jakarta (Indonesian: Jakarta Selatan; Betawi: Jakarte Beludik), abbreviated as Jaksel, is one of the five administrative cities which form the Special Capital Region of Jakarta, Indonesia. South Jakarta is not self-governed and does not have a city council, hence it is not classified as a proper municipality. It covers a land area of 141.27 km2 (54.54 sq.miles), and had a population of 2,062,232 at the 2010 census[2] and 2,226,812 at the 2020 census,[3] and 2,409,380 as at mid 2022 according to the official estimates (comprising 1,200,090 males and 1,205,990 females).[1] It is the third most populous among the five administrative cities of Jakarta, after East Jakarta and West Jakarta. The administrative centre is at Kebayoran Baru.
South Jakarta is bounded by Central Jakarta to the north, East Jakarta to the east, Depok city to the south, West Jakarta to the northwest, and by Tangerang and South Tangerang cities to the west.
