Jakarta: The Second-Most Populous City on Earth

Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, boasts a staggering population of approximately 35.934 million people, earning it the moniker “The Big Durian,” a nod to the native Durian fruit. While it’s often compared to “The Big Apple,” New York City, it’s essential to note that each city has its unique character and charm.

New York City, with its concrete jungle and distinct identity, remains in a league of its own. However, Jakarta’s growth and development over the years are evident in the photos, placing it firmly on the map as one of the world’s most populous and vibrant cities. “The Big Durian” continues to evolve and shape its own unique identity.
