Over the past decades, sustainable urban development matters have been the focus of the Kingdom of Bahrain, as these challenges formed a fertile ground for research and discussion at various levels of decision-making bodies, which resulted in many national initiatives in planning for housing, infrastructure, open spaces, transport and communication, energy consumption, and waste recycling. Not to mention that Bahrain has a rich experience in dealing with the spatial variable by organising places through urban planning and urban development, in line with its international commitments to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030, Paris Agreement to tackle climate change, Sendai Framework for risk and disaster reduction, and the New Urban Agenda. These commitments formed the reference for the Kingdom’s orientations towards urban prosperity, social inclusion, sustainability, and resilience.
