A visionary proposal to erect a landmark sculpture at the entrance of Salman Town – a growing city that has quickly emerged as a symbol of modern Bahraini urban expansion – has been unanimously approved by the Northern Municipal Council during its regular weekly meeting.
Presented by area councillor Mohammed Al Dossary, the proposal has been forwarded to Municipalities Affairs and Agriculture Minister Wael Al Mubarak for review.
Developed as part of the kingdom’s housing and urban planning strategy, the city has become home to thousands of young families and citizens seeking a modern lifestyle in a well-planned environment.
Yet despite its infrastructure and clean layout, many residents and civic leaders have observed a lack of visual identity – a cultural marker that helps build a collective sense of place.
