Grogol Petamburan

Grogol Petamburan is an administrative district in West Jakarta composed of seven urban villages spread across a densely populated area. The neighborhoods of Tomang, Grogol, Jelambar, and Tanjung Duren shape the character of the district and structure how residents move through the space.

The district underwent a significant change in 1990 when Palmerah was separated from its territory as part of an administrative restructuring. This boundary shift defined the shape and extent of the area as it exists today.

The population of 241,564 residents represents multiple ethnic groups, including Javanese, Betawi, Batak, Chinese, and Sundanese communities.

The district has three universities and several shopping centers serving as key gathering points for visitors. Railway stations at Grogol and Pesing provide straightforward connections for getting around and exploring the wider area.

The area features a religious distribution of 57.81% Muslim, 26.73% Christian, and 15.26% Buddhist inhabitants, reflecting Indonesian religious diversity.
