The development of Bekasi linked directly with the growth and expansion of Jakarta. Bekasi region in colonial times was only a Kawedanan or district that almost half its area was particulaire (private land). Unlike Jakarta, which has been projected as a colonial city and rapidly flourished since the Dutch time. Bekasi emerged after independence and the status increased to the district level. Significant progress has been noted in Instruksi Presiden No. 13 Tahun 1976 on the extention of the greater JABOTABEK area development that aims to relieve the population explosion and to create an equitable distribution of development to the hinterland areas . Due to the conception, Bekasi designated to bear the burden of urban development as a buffer city. The impact is quite noticeable in the sense of the industrial expansion. Residential facilities and amenities are growing up due to the many developers who are interested in investments. As well as rapid population growth occurred during the years 1970 to 1990 to make compliance with increasing residential development, infrastructure facilities were built to support the activities of its residents. This development changed Bekasi not only physically but also socialy and economically. In which the main feature of this development was the shift from agricultural area to urban site. On the basis of that response, the Subdistrict of Bekasi in particular was changed to Administrative City of Bekasi in 1982. Ongoing development of Bekasi significantly coincided with developments in the city of Jakarta as a strategic area and a buffer city .
