Illustration — An aerial view of Isa Town – One of the more ambitious projects undertaken by Bahrain, was the creation of a new town, designed to house 35,000 people. Lying to the south-west of Manama, Isa Town was commenced in 1967 with the object of providing housing for those many Bahrainis who might not otherwise have been able to buy their own homes. The Government provided the public buildings, services and amenities, while the residents are responsible only for the cost of the houses, the finance for which could be raised through mortgages with the Government’s Loan Scheme.
