The Greater Manila Area (Filipino: Malawakang Maynila) is the contiguous urbanization region surrounding the Metropolitan Manila area. 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.[2][3] Though sprawl continues to absorb new zones, some urban zones are independent clusters of settlements surrounded by non-urban areas.
