Bandung

Commercial city and capital of Jawa Barat province on the island of Java, Indonesia, 180 km/112 mi southeast of Jakarta; population (2000) 3,443,700. Bandung is the third-largest city in Indonesia. Industries include textiles, chemicals, and plastics.

Founded by Dutch settlers in 1810, Bandung was the administrative centre when the country was the Netherlands East Indies. The Bandung Conference, a meeting of African and Asian nations to condemn Western colonialism, was held here in 1955.

Bandung is served by the Husein Sastranegara airport, 5 km/3 mi from the city centre. It is also the site of two universities: Parahyangan Catholic University (1955) and Pajajaran State University (1957); a centre for nuclear research (1964); and a number of agricultural and industrial research institutes.
