CP okays masterplan for waterfront project
Manama : Bahrain yesterday showed the green light to a conceptual master-plan for a large-scale waterfront development project stretching from the King Faisal Corniche in Manama to Muharraq.
HRH Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince, Deputy Supreme Commander and First Deputy Prime Minister approved the project while chairing the Higher Urban Planning Committee.
The master-plan includes a detailed proposal to develop a 14-kilometre section of waterfront between Juffair and the King Faisal Corniche.
The new waterfront development concept features a wide range of facilities for citizens and residents, including public beaches, walkways, green spaces, and restaurants, as well as cycling and running facilities.
The project represents the latest example of the vital role played by the Higher Urban Planning Committee in delivering sustainable urban development and expanding public facilities to meet citizens’ aspirations, in line with HM King Hamad’s vision.
The Higher Urban Planning Committee has prioritised the waterfront masterplan as an important opportunity to integrate Bahrain’s natural environment within modern, high-quality development.
