Greater Manila generally refers to the contiguous urbanization surrounding Metro Manila. Greater Manila spills into the neighboring provinces of Laguna, Cavite, Rizal, Bulacan, Pampanga and Batangas. Greater Manila hugs Laguna de Bay, the largest lake in Luzon. Mega Manila corresponds to Greater Manila, but it is a specifically defined term but neither of its two definitions, the looser nor the stricter one, offer any sub-provincial granularity. This is important because not all the cities and towns of the above mentioned provinces are urbanized, there are stark development contrasts ranging from dense suburban to rural areas within a province, and some urban zones (notably Angeles and San Fernando of Pampanga) are independent cities that are not yet absorbed by Manila's belt of urbanization. There is no official sub-provincial based definition for Greater Manila.

  • Localities densities of 1,000 people/km2 in a contiguous 1,000+ people/km2 density zone with Metro Manila
