Bandung Regency

Bandung Regency (Kabupaten Bandung) is an administrative landlocked regency located to the south, southeast, east and northeast of the city of Bandung. The northern parts of the Bandung Regency are effectively part of Greater Bandung (technically the whole of the Regency is within the Bandung Metropolitan Area), with the southern third being less urbanized and jutting upwards from the Valley, though not as sharply as the mountain range to the immediate north of Bandung. The Regency is part of the Indonesian province of West Java, and is situated about 75 miles southeast of Jakarta. The town of Soreang is the regency seat. The Regency was reduced in size as first Cimahi City (which became an independent city on 21 June 2001) and then West Bandung Regency (on 2 January 2007) were split off from the regency, resulting in a land area of 1,762.40 km2. In the 2010 Census, the population of this residual area reached 3,178,543 after final adjustments, while the 2020 Census increased the total to 3,623,790; the official estimate as at mid 2023 was 3,721,111 comprising 1,894,101 males and 1,827,010 females, for an average density of roughly 2,111.4 per square kilometre. It is the second most populous (after Bogor Regency) of all the regencies of Indonesia.

Bandung Regency's current regent is Dadang Supriatna, while Sahrul Gunawan is the vice regent.

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 meters 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.
