Editing Semarang (section)

== Greater Semarang ==
Greater Semarang (known as ''Kedungsepur'') was initially defined by the government as Semarang city, [[Semarang Regency]], [[Salatiga]] city, [[Kendal Regency]], and [[Demak Regency]].<ref>{{cite web |last=Soetomo |first=Sugiono |url=http://www.isocarp.net/Data/case_studies/478.pdf |title=Urban Development as the interface of Regional Development from Below in central Java – Indonesia: the Case of Semarang Metropolitan |work=40th ISoCaRP Congress |publisher=[[International Society of City and Regional Planners]] |date=2004 |access-date=28 December 2016 |archive-date=3 March 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303220551/http://www.isocarp.net/Data/case_studies/478.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref> It was later extended to include the western part (12 districts only) of [[Grobogan Regency]]. Despite the definition, rural and urban cores remain distinct and have not amalgamated into a continuous urban sprawl as is the case in [[Jakarta metropolitan area|Greater Jakarta]].
