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.
Location
Bandung is located in a mountainous plateau region in the central portion of West Java province and has the third highest population of any metropolitan area in Indonesia.
Western Java urban corridor
The Bandung metropolitan area begins less than 20 km from the eastern edge of the metropolitan area of Greater Jakarta ("Jabodetabek") near Cianjur city, and is adjacent (contiguous) with the Jabodetabekjur-Cirangkarta definition for Jakarta's extended metropolitan area (250 km or so long) at its northern border with Purwakarta Regency. Stretching from Serang Regency in Banten Province to include Greater Bandung, this relatively narrow urban corridor hemmed in by volcanoes is home to estimated 50 million people as of 2020, or a third of the islands population and a bit less than a fifth of the entire nation.
Definition
The Bandung Metropolitan area was officially defined as covering Bandung Regency and West Bandung Regency (until 2007 part of Bandung Regency), plus part (5 districts[6]) of Sumedang Regency, together with the cities of Bandung and Cimahi.[4]

As subsequently extended, the new metropolitan region includes the entire Sumedang Regency with parts of Subang Regency and Majalengka Regency; and it borders the Cirebon metropolitan area. Together, the two metro areas comprise over 14 million people[10]Sources: (Budan Pusat Statistik 2010, 2015 Census Indonesia)

- Note that area figures in Indonesia are frequently updated as the country is seismically and volcanically very active, and land subsidence due to changes in land use and population pressures. 3 kecamatan data were not updated, assuming no changes to older data from 2010 data.
