context_page_description: Bandung Regency is an administrative 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 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 and then West Bandung Regency were split off from the regency. In the 2010 Census, the population of the residual area reached 3,178,543 after final adjustments, while the Intermediate Census for 2015 increased the total to 3,528,873, for an average density of roughly 1,996 per square kilometre.
