|---|---|
| Jakarta Pusat (Central) The government and historic core around Monas and Medan Merdeka, with the palace, ministries and Stasiun Gambir, Menteng's leafy colonial villas and the Thamrin office strip. It also holds the Tanah Abang textile market and the old Kemayoran airport, now the JIExpo fairground. | Gambir, Sawah Besar, Kemayoran, Senen, Cempaka Putih, Menteng, Tanah Abang, Johar Baru |
| Jakarta Utara (North) A long coastal strip on Jakarta Bay, from the old Sunda Kelapa harbour and Pantai Indah Kapuk in the west to the Ancol seafront and Tanjung Priok, the country's busiest port. Kelapa Gading is its big inland shopping and food suburb, while much of the low-lying, sinking shore is prone to flooding. | Penjaringan, Pademangan, Tanjung Priok, Koja, Kelapa Gading, Cilincing |
| Jakarta Barat (West) Dense and commercial: Kota Tua and the Glodok Chinatown in Taman Sari, crowded Tambora, and the campuses and malls of Grogol and Slipi.

| Jakarta Selatan (South) The greener, wealthier south: Kebayoran Baru's planned 1950s town around Blok M, the Kuningan and SCBD business districts and the MRT spine along Fatmawati. Southward it turns into quieter residential neighbourhoods, Ragunan zoo and the Ciliwung valley in Jagakarsa. | Tebet, Setiabudi, Mampang Prapatan, Pasar Minggu, Kebayoran Lama, Cilandak, Kebayoran Baru, Pancoran, Jagakarsa, Pesanggrahan |
| Jakarta Timur (East) The largest and most populous kota, mostly residential and industrial: the old Jatinegara market town, the Pulo Gadung industrial estate and Terminal Pulo Gebang. Halim airport and the Whoosh station sit on its western side, with Taman Mini Indonesia Indah to the south. | Matraman, Pulo Gadung, Jatinegara, Kramat Jati, Pasar Rebo, Cakung, Duren Sawit, Makasar, Ciracas, Cipayung |
