Take office as Mayor of Manama

Manama, Bahrain · 200,000 people · Coastal City

The Ministry of Works and the Capital Secretariat manage Bahrain’s primary financial hub, overseeing the launch of the ambitious Bahrain Metro project to alleviate extreme car congestion, expanding affordable housing initiatives through public private partnerships, and constructing heavy coastal defenses to mitigate sea level rise risks on the low lying island.

The record Manama keeps on the Board of Mayors is still unwritten. Take office and write its opening chapter.

The city

Landmark: Bahrain World Trade Center & Bab Al Bahrain.

• The Ministry of Works is leading the development of the Bahrain Metro, a planned 109-kilometer light rail network designed to drastically reduce the capital's heavy reliance on automobiles and connect major commercial hubs seamlessly.
• The Capital Secretariat coordinates with the Supreme Council for Environment to build integrated coastal defenses, combining traditional sea walls with nature based mangrove restorations to protect critical infrastructure from projected sea level rise.

How a term works

Take office and each day brings a live situation from the city's services: a decision to make and a result that is measured. A term is judged on approval, infrastructure, environment and innovation, within the city's budget, and every term adds to the record Manama keeps on the Board of Mayors. Mayors message and confer with one another, form councils, trade with neighbouring cities and send aid where it is needed. Cities rise together.
