AbstractMetropolitan Jakarta is a megacity of 17 million people that serves as the governmental, industrial, commercial, and transport hub of Indonesia. Its residents experience two sets of major environmental problems: the negative effects of development on the water cycle and increased waste generation and air pollution from rapid demographic and economic growth. The profile briefly presents the status of natural resources and environmental risks in Jakarta, examines the interactions between environmental quality and economic development, and describes the institutional setting for environmental management, including initiatives for improvement. The article summarizes a lengthier and more detailed profile that was prepared as part of a rapid urban environmental assessment of the metropolitan area.
