Also known as: Antipolo, Lungsod ng Antipolo
Antipolo City is a component city in Rizal, Region IV-A (CALABARZON). Population 887K (PSA 2020 census), 16 barangays, land area 306.1 km².
Antipolo is a pilgrimage city (Antipolo Cathedral hosts the Marian image) that has become Metro Manila's largest residential-suburban escape. Population grew from 470K (2010) to 887K (2020) — nearly doubling in a decade — almost entirely through subdivision development on the western slopes facing Manila. The CLUP must reconcile religious-tourism traffic patterns around the cathedral with sprawling residential development that has paved over critical Marikina watershed catchment. Quarrying in the eastern barangays (Calawis, San Jose) is a perpetual conflict between revenue and watershed protection. The MRT-7 alignment terminates at San Jose, and the LRT-2 East extension terminates at Marikina-Antipolo border — both will reshape residential land values massively.
Key industries: Religious tourism, Quarrying + construction materials, Residential subdivisions, Higher education

Antipolo's watershed protection mandate intersects with Marikina's flooding mandate downstream — exactly the kind of inter-LGU coordination Nova Gov's regional dashboards are designed for. The religious-tourism overlay (event-driven traffic + parking + waste) is a compelling secondary use case for the city's 16-barangay structure.
