Pekalongan is a city of Central Java, Indonesia. It was formerly the seat of Pekalongan Regency on the northern coast of the province, but is now an independent municipality within the province. The city is Central Java's most important port, and is known for its batik. Since December 2014, Pekalongan is a member of UNESCO’s World’s Creative Cities Network. Pekalongan is the first Indonesian city and first South East Asian city listed as member of UNESCO’s World’s Creative Cities Network.
Hand-drawn and hand-stamped batik are the main pillars of the city’s economy. Closely tied to art, culture and the economy, batik design and production are an essential part of Pekalongan’s identity. Integrated into the city’s educational system, Batik culture is also well integrated into the city’s creative economy development plans.
