South Tangerang is a city in Banten province, Indonesia, located 30 km on the southwestern border of Jakarta.[1] As of mid-2024, the official population estimate was 1,429,629 inhabitants across an area of 164.86 km².[1] On 26 November 2008, South Tangerang was established as an autonomous city, having been split from Tangerang Regency.[1][2]
Geography and history
South Tangerang was established as an autonomous city based on Banten province's constitution to improve government service and public welfare.[2] The municipality is divided into seven districts, with Ciputat as the administrative center.[3] The western districts of Setu, Serpong, and Serpong Utara are much less densely populated than the eastern districts.[3] The Greater Jakarta metropolitan area includes South Tangerang, which sits 30 km from Jakarta's southwestern border.[1]
Dutch colonial authorities constructed the Situ Gintung reservoir in 1933; it lies within the Cirendeu kelurahan, part of East Ciputat District.[4] A dam collapse at that reservoir on 27 March 2009 led to flooding that caused at least 93 fatalities.[4] Betawi and Tangerang Sundanese are the two main languages spoken across South Tangerang.[5]
What the cited sources add
A 2020 news article noted that several community figures in South Tangerang considered forming the Paguyuban Pemuda Sunda Tangerang Selatan to promote local wisdom as a community identity.[6] The Jakarta Post reported in 2024 that a joint venture between SouthCity and a Summarecon subsidiary invested over Rp 1 trillion to develop a 6.4-hectare mall within the 57-hectare SouthCity superblock.[7] Peony Tang, director of SouthCity, stated that the mall would cater to millennials, young executives, and families.[7] Alberto Sutejo, sales and marketing general manager at SouthCity, noted the significant market potential from the area's growing population.[7]
He also highlighted that SouthCity offers affordable housing in a lush, green environment with easy access to Jakarta's center.[7] SouthCity's connectivity is boosted by proximity to major tolls and highways, including the recently opened Limo tollgate.[7]
