Greater Manila generally refers to the contiguous urbanization surrounding Metro Manila, and ambiguously there are several terms. == Definitions == Greater Manila may describe: * Metro Manila, a first-level administrative unit of Philippines under the governance of Metropolitan Manila Development Authority, considered the ''core'' of the greater metro area. * A term in common usage, Mega Manila, is used to describe a region that is bound to Manila economically. There are 2 definitions. Both terms are based on administrative divisions (entire provinces) that encompass wide ranges of settlements and/or rural areas and do not take into account huge differences among localities. * The built-up area surrounding Manila, which is constantly being developed. (It can be seen by air or satellite and does not fit neatly into provinces, or even city limits). To disambiguate from the two above terms which are in common use, it may be deemed Greater Manila Area. This article is about this contiguous built-up zone. The built-up zone covers Metro Manila as well as ''parts'' of the neighboring provinces of Laguna, Cavite, Rizal, Bulacan, Pampanga, Batangas, Bataan and Zambales. Though sprawl continues to absorb new zones, some urban zones (notably Angeles and San Fernando of Pampanga) are independent clusters of settlements surrounded by non-urban areas; Manila's belt of urbanization has yet to absorb them. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Greater Manila Area」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
