Administrative districts

Bandung Regency is divided into thirty-one districts (kecamatan), encompassing 280 administrative villages (desa and kelurahan). The districts are listed below with their areas and their populations at the 2010 Census⁴ and 2020 Census,⁵ together with the official estimates as at mid 2024.⁶ The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, the number of administrative villages in each district (totaling 270 rural desa and 10 urban kelurahan), and its post code.

The Northern group of Margaasih, Margahayu, Dayeuhkolot and Bojongsoang Districts (which lie immediately to the south of the city), and Cileunyi, Cilrengkrand and Cimenyan Districts (which lie immediately to the east and north of the city) are virtually extensions to the built-up area of Bandung. These suburbs are no longer increasing in population, as growth has switched to the groups of districts further south.

Nagreg Ring Road

To ease traffic jams in the Nagreg hill area close to Bandung, in 2011 the government completed part of the Nagreg ring road (5.4 km in length, 10 degrees in steepness, with a 400 metres semi-tunnel) at a cost of Rp.90 billion (around $US 10.6 million). The ring road will serve vehicles from travelling from south to north and can be used during Eid ul-Fitr 2011. Traffic from north to south will still use the old road.¹¹
