Jakarta is a fascinating city. Its attraction lies in the incredibly wide variety of people - Indonesians, Chinese, Indians, Arabs, and Europeans - who have arrived over the centuries, bringing with them their own habits, folklore, and culture. Their descendants have resulted in a vibrant mix of people, most of them making a living along the thousands of small lanes and alleys that criss-cross the kampungs of this enormous city. Artifacts indicate that this area was inhabited from the fifth century. Hundreds of years later, a small trading post on the coast named Kelapa was founded and eventually grew into the mega-city of Jakarta with over twenty million people. This book provides a unique look at the history of Jakarta through the eyes of individuals who have walked its streets through the ages, revealing how some of the challenges confronting the city today - congestion, poverty, floods and land subsidence - mirror the struggles the city has had to face in the past.

This book combines the work of twenty-one authors from East and West, some of whom are long-time residents of Jakarta and all of whom have lived and studied there for shorter or longer periods. They have in common that each of them has become fascinated by certain characteristics of Jakarta’s many-sided life. The subjects they deal with range from conditions in VOC Batavia to particular national or ethnic communities to administrative developments. The essays on early colonial Batavia yield new insights into the demographic situation bases on archival research, and those essays dealing with more modern topics make use of special sources, including maps, that are not easily accessible through libraries. Reading through this volume one encounters striking parallels between the past and the present, because many aspects of present-day Jakarta are deeply rooted in the history of the city: demography and urban morphology, environmental absurdities, traffic, and floods as well as ritual and symbolism. Historians, anthropologists, sociologists, administrators, and town planners may well draw inspiration from this kaleidoscopic picture of Indonesia’s capital.

Jakarta: Hectic, crowded, multicultural, multilingual, historic, futuristic, and a jumbled pile of everything that makes megacities great. But nobody knows Jakarta. Foreigners think it's only a stopover on their way to Bali. This book brings you the joy of Jakarta, from a locals' perspective. Twelve million of us live in this city; there must be something good here. We'll eat tons of street food, go high-end and low-end shopping, ride a bullet train, roam the waterfront, see rock shows, visit mosques and cathedrals, and, of course, drink a lot of coffee. This is local Jakarta: what we Jakartans love about our city, and what we'd show to our visiting best friend. That's what I show you in this book. We'll dive into the Jakartan experiences the foreigner-centered and ChatGPT-written guidebooks have no idea about, and we'll come out alive. I promise. You don't need to speak Indonesian. You don't need to know anything about Indonesia. And this book has QR code links to map points of our destinations, so Jakarta will be navigable for even the most directionally challenged. Ayo! (Come on, let's go!) Jakarta hebat! (Jakarta is awesome!)
