Kalideres, Administrative district in West Jakarta, Indonesia
Kalideres is an administrative district on Jakarta's western edge, encompassing five urban communities. The area serves as a transition zone between the city center and surrounding suburban regions.
The district evolved from part of Tangerang Regency to a section of Cengkareng before gaining administrative independence through government regulation in 1990. This transformation reflected Jakarta's expanding urban structure.
The population of 468,119 residents represents multiple ethnic groups, including Javanese, Betawi, and Sundanese communities, forming a diverse suburban landscape.
The district connects to central Jakarta through the TransJakarta bus corridor and the KRL railway line serving commuters. Multiple transportation routes make it accessible for both residents and visitors moving throughout the city.
Large-scale river normalization projects reshaped the district's landscape in the early 2010s. These works significantly reduced flooding and altered how water flows through the area today.
