Key Takeaways
Urbanization in Indonesia showed significant growth from 1990 to 2023, reflecting the country’s economic transformation and urban migration trends. In 1990, only about 30.6% of the population resided in urban areas. This percentage steadily increased as urbanization gained momentum, surpassing 40% by 1999. The Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s slowed economic growth but did not halt urban migration, which continued to climb with the rebound of the economy. By 2010, half of Indonesia’s population lived in urban centers, with further expansion in sectors like manufacturing and services drawing more people into cities. Infrastructure improvements, particularly in transportation and housing, supported this trend. Between 2015 and 2020, urbanization continued to rise, reaching 56.6% in 2020, fueled by increased urban job opportunities and improved access to urban amenities. By 2023, urbanization in Indonesia had reached 58.6%, highlighting Indonesia's ongoing shift toward urban-centered development. The steady growth in urbanization reflects Indonesia's broader socioeconomic changes and developmental focus on industrialization and modernization of urban infrastructure.
