"The designs ... will challenge the traditional flat, horizontal cities and create a model for nature preservation and enhanced human livability. Similar ghost town fates befell other costly projectsin the Yujiapu Financial District in Tianjin, China, and Naypyidaw, the capital of Myanmar. The Line forms part of a Saudi rebrand plan ---coined Vision 2030--- to rival its Gulf neighbors such as Dubai and Abu Dhabi as travel hotspots and reshape the kingdom's economy. The group has been highly critical of Saudi Arabia's visa sponsorship system, known as kafala. "This was a heinous crime," bin Salman said in an interview with CBS in 2019. It will span 34 square kilometers (13 square miles), according to the press release.

Saudi Arabia Announces The Line As A Futuristic 100% Renewable Energy City ... We've often imagined what our cities of the future might look like, but I'll be the ...

They expect the first 1.5 million residents to be living in The Line by 2030. What will you be allowed to race? We’ve often imagined what our cities of the future might look like, but I’ll be the first to admit that Saudi Arabia’s The Line was nowhere on my radar.

Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman revealed the first glimpses of what The Line will look like.

There was also a mention of a sports stadium built 1,000 feet above the ground and the issue of how the project could disrupt the migration of birds as well as snatch lands away from the tribes of the region. The Line is being designed to put humans first in the pecking order of urban planning and strip off the need for roads to move cars and buses around. “We cannot ignore the livability and environmental crises facing our world’s cities, and NEOM is at the forefront of delivering new and imaginative solutions to address these issues.

Saudi Arabia has presented the first designs for what the country's 200m-wide 'linear city of the future', known as The Line, will look like.

NEOM However, according to the documents obtained, The Washington Post has estimated that the whole Neom project will be built in phases, stretching from 2030 until 2050. The Line is part of Saudi Arabia’s ambitious Neom project, which aims to build an independent, liberal, high-tech megacity in the country. The Line’s architects have said that they won’t need them, as all supermarkets and essential services will be “a five-minute walk” away, either up, down or across the city. “The Line will tackle the challenges facing humanity in urban life today and will shine a light on alternative ways to live.” The impactful images show a city made from two single parallel structures stretching over 170km (105 miles) and connecting the country’s west and east coast.

Design plans for the linear city show the sci-fi inspired interiors, with angular glass structures contorting in different shapes over an artificial river.

Saudi Arabia previously abandoned plans to build a mile-high skyscraper that would have been the world's tallest after getting into funding difficulties. US President Joe Biden, 79, met with the Crown Prince last week to talk over the broken relationships between the countries. However, foreign investments in the Neom have not been so forthcoming as many Western countries continue to boycott the country over alleged human rights violations. The community of millions will also be fed through vertical farming that will be integrated into the walls of the shiny buildings and residents will reportedly pay a subscription for three meals a day. The community of millions will also be fed through vertical farming that will be integrated into the walls of the shiny buildings If fully completed, the skyscraper will run from the Gulf of Aqaba, through a mountain range, and then extend along the coast into a desert 'aerotropolis'

He added, “Neom will be a place for all people from across the globe to make their mark on the world in creative and innovative ways. “We cannot ignore the liveability and environmental crises facing our world’s cities, and Neom is at the forefront of delivering new and imaginative solutions to address these issues. “And since we are doing it from nothing, why should we copy normal cities?” “A cognitive city that predicts and reacts to what we need, not the other way round. “This in turn will reduce the infrastructure footprint and create never-before-seen efficiencies in city functions.

"We cannot ignore the liveability and environmental crises facing our world's cities, and NEOM is at the forefront of delivering new and imaginative solutions to address these issues," he said. "The Line will eventually accommodate nine million residents and will be built on a footprint of 34 square kilometres, which is unheard of when compared to other cities of similar capacity," Neom said. Little detail on how the colossal project will deliver the many impressive features have been revealed, but Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman claims the site will "address the problems of traditional horizontal flat cities".

Bill Mackay, a senior lecturer of architecture and planning at the University of Auckland, says Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's hyped and hyper-modern city ...

“One of the key parts of it is that it's a linear community built around transport. All the shade that they generate allows people to walk. We have a lot of thinking to be done with our architecture.” And those articles are free. “I think architecture actually does solve the world's problems at times. But the reality would be nothing more than a giant land-stricken cruise ship, a New Zealand architecture professor says. Chicca said the production of The Line would have a far larger environmental impact than the construction of a normal dense city, because of how challenging it was to verticalise infrastructure. In the case of The Line it's an answer to which there actually wasn't much of a problem in the first place, but at least it's an answer. "It's already so boiling hot out there. But Mackay is dubious. “In Arab countries there is a real problem with linear glass and mirror glass because their buildings reflect things badly and light just bounces off each of them and the roads, and makes it a really unpleasant place to be out in. To counter that, the mirrors on the outside of the skyscrapers will reflect it away from the buildings inside The Line.
