Greater Manila Area

The Greater Manila Area is the contiguous urbanization surrounding Metro Manila. This built-up zone includes Metro Manila and the neighboring provinces of Bulacan to the north, Cavite and Laguna to the south, and Rizal to the east.[1][2] Though sprawl continues to absorb new zones, some urban zones are independent clusters of settlements surrounded by non-urban areas.

This article is about the Metro Manila region and its contiguous area. For the historical World War II-era city, see City of Greater Manila.
