==Location== Bandung is located in a mountainous plateau region in the central portion of West Java province and has the third highest population of any metropolitan area in Indonesia.

==Western Java urban corridor== The Bandung metropolitan area begins less than 20 km from the eastern edge of the metropolitan area of Greater Jakarta ("Jabodetabek") near Cianjur city, and is adjacent (contiguous) with the ''Jabodetabekjur-Cirangkarta'' definition for Jakarta's extended metropolitan area (250 km or so long) at its northern border with Purwakarta Regency. Stretching from Serang Regency in Banten Province to include Greater Bandung, this relatively narrow urban corridor hemmed in by volcanoes is home to estimated 50 million people as of 2020, or a third of the islands population and a bit less than a fifth of the entire nation.

==Definition== thumb|left|upright=2|Population density of Java and Madura by district as of 2025, with major urban areas shown The Bandung Metropolitan area was officially defined as covering Bandung Regency and West Bandung Regency (which until 2007 was part of Bandung Regency), plus part (5 districts<ref>The five districts (''kecamatan'') in the southwest corner of Sumedang Regency are Jatinangor, Cimanggung, Tanjungsari, Sukasari and Pamulihan.</ref>) of Sumedang Regency, together with the cities of Bandung and Cimahi.<ref name="werd"/>
