Right: 2004, with 13 million inhabitants. Jakarta was the last Hindu kingdom of West Java when the Portugese arrived in 1522. They were driven out 5 years later by Muslim saint and leader Sunan Gunungjati, who renamed the city Jayakarta. In the 17th century the Dutch captured the city, fortified and walled it, and renamed it Batavia. After World War II, Dutch colonial power came to an end when Soekarno declared the Republic of Indonesia. This time series of images shows the growth of the city over the past few decades; vegetation is rendered in red and urban areas shown in blue-grey. 1976 image acquired by the Landsat MSS scanner. 1989 image taken by the Landsat Thematic Mapper. 2004 picture captured by ASTER.
