- NEOM UPDATE: Understanding Saudi Arabia's Decision to Scale Back 'THE LINE' Project
Saudi Arabia's surprising decision to scale back 'The Line' project, a futuristic endeavor that has been a focal point of the NEOM initiative. Originally envisioned as a sprawling 170-kilometer linear city accommodating 9 million people, 'The Line' now faces a significant reduction in scope, with plans shrinking from 105 miles to just 1.49 miles.
The shift in plans has raised questions about the feasibility and future of this ambitious project, especially as it grapples with engineering challenges and workforce adjustments. While construction continues on a smaller scale, financial constraints, including shrinking PIF funds and oil revenue dependence, pose significant hurdles.
Despite these challenges, NEOM's progress on other fronts, such as the Sindalah project and advancements in green energy initiatives like the massive green hydrogen production facility, highlight ongoing efforts towards sustainable development.
Join us as we explore the implications of Saudi Arabia's decision on 'The Line' project and its broader impact on NEOM's vision for the future.

⚠Important Clarification⚠
Saudi Arabia will start with a 2.4-kilometer 'Line' by 2030, Then they'll expand it to 170 kilometers over time.
That is sensible
2.4km until 2030 (in 6 years) => 400m/year. At this rate it takes 425 years.
Haha, I believe in Mohamed bin Salmon in his endless wisdom.
@@sca04245 Yes, but it doesn't matter if it will eventually have 170 km or not. If they build just 2 km and achieve their goals of attracting businesses, ppl moving there, etc. - they can then carry on like that, bit by bit & it will still be a success story.
@@dyawr But it does matter. Words matter. Promises matter. Every scam starts with a big promise. In bin Salmon's own words the Line was meant to be a "civilizational revolution". Now they are building a neighborhood.
Remember that revolutional highspeed trnsportation system, that connects 170km within 20mins? Wonder if they integrate that one? Remember having a city with millions of people without cars? Being run on renewable energy only?
The line is a scam meant to attract investors, not only to the line, but also to related neom projects. Remember neom Bay? I guess succesfully scamming people may be considered a success story.
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha
Even at 2 Km I doubt it will get done
I Doubt they could even realize 100m. This is just another megalomaniac prestige project for the prince, while the large part of the population is living in slums.
this depends how far their egos can go
When one has massive wealth & are not sure what to do with it.
its cool idea though
At that point there is no wealth, only loss
Seems you spend all your lifetime in weatlh as you dont understand that housing is one of the core challenges a society is coping with. This is the mayor aim of THE LINE and this is the fundamental idea why it is a linear city.
There's housing and there's this stupid monstrosity in the middle of the dessert its not sustainable@SaudiMag
True
You start with "Saudi Arabia's plans for the Line hit a surprising twist". Have you seriously believed the hype before? I am sure no sane person ever thought that this project would ever be completed even in 100 years.
If they had the best possible theoretical luck and things to work with, lets just say unlimited money, workers that have no days off or vacations, no families to raise. And no setbacks, no days where it is not being built, how many years would this take to complete?
Dude, this is all written and voiced bu AI.
This will be dismissed entirely soon
Possible in this area With future high temperature from climate change ?
And why your engaging your nose in our bussiness xD ?
Why should he not have an opinion on a project that jas been heavily prompted worldwide?
@@abdulkarimsalehhe's right this project will fail
@@abdulkarimsalehI would be convinced that you don't care what anybody thinks, if it wasn't for one or two thumbnails I saw from Neon 😅
Somebody took off their VR goggles and looked at the real world.
Dont build and think people will come.
Build because people want to come
I can't imagine who would want to live there. If you are wealthy, you can live pretty much anywhere in the world. Why would you choose to live in the middle of the desert?
Those are the big questions
Who will like here?
At full scale, the Line will be home to 9 million people. Saudi Arabia population is 36 million. This mean a quarter of population has to move here! It is not clear if 9 M or even just 300k people in the country are looking for houses.
How to make people move to the Line?
: Give the free house? free house+ bonus? free house+ jobs?
Force them to move?
How do people live? Given limited no of car (may be no car) the mobility of people may be limited to walking distance.
From 170 km to only 2.4 km
🤣😂🤣
the cocaine went off
ikr... it's like a 10 year old saying "I'm gonna build my own helicoptor" ... and settling for a paper-plane.
If they made it a giant ring instead of a boring line and called it the oasis, with a forest in the middle, it would’ve been better.
Not surprising at all. It was already a stupid thing to try and make it that long anyways
You don't understand the concept but this doesn't make the concept wrong.
@@SaudiMagBro you're arguing a losing case the line was being made for rich people now think which rich person from other countries would want to go live in the middle of the dessert in a glass house lol nobody would come can't see elon Musk or Jeff bezos living there
Logic makes it wrong.@@SaudiMag
A project so ambitious to the limit of utilizing technologies that don’t exit yet!
Solar and wind energy first to make it efficient?
@@EdT.-xt6yvtransportation faster than the fastest train in the world as of now, for example
@@warmike another lesson don't listen to Elon's fairy projects
I can imagine a thousand and one other, better and more productive projects for the KSA than this preposterous, bombastic ego trip.
This is what happens when reality clashes with stupidity.
The original point of it was that you live in a big city while being able to move around quickly without stress.
Now if it's just a small neighborhood with three buildings, it's a completely different project.
😂❤
A posh 15 min city
Its just pure simple maths. Walls 500m tall x 200m wide x 1m depth = 100,000 cubic metres.
Length 170km or 170,000m is 170,000 x 100,000= 17,000,000,000sqm or 17bn cubic metres.
At a cost of $1tn dollars $1,000,000,000,000/17,000,000,000= $58 cubic metre.
That's without carbon neutral power stations, a train that will take to from end to end in 20 minutes, an airport or external sanitation and water facilities.
Population density for 9m people 6x greater than the most populously dense city in the world, Manilla causing crowding.
$58 a cubic metre??
Good luck.
Even if they had the money - a "line" is a terrible design for a city and it would never work. They should be thankful for the short of cash or they would lose a lot more.
Instead of the line build waterways and canals so that the dry desert becomes green with trees
Yes this is what I advocate. Transform the Sahara to the lush environment it once was
@@josephmarzullo Bro sahara is in africa not in arabian peninsula xD
@josephmarzullo The Sahara Desert is in Africa, Saudia Arabia is in The Arabian peninsula
I am still counting on the flying cars, the hyperloop, the holographic teachers, the artificial moon, the glow in the dark sand, the dinosaur park and the robotic maids, which will function perfectly for at least a generation.
170km long city.
I can't see this as a practical way to build a city. How to people easily move from end to end without travelling as though it was a highway journey.
I think i prefer traditionally sprawling cities with appropriate transport systems
Nobody needs to go from one end to the other on a regular basis as people of today spending more and more time at home. In some years they will stay in bed with apple VR google on...
@@SaudiMag
I heard that the Line will has no car (and no road, just the walk way)
So the basic mode of transportation is walking?
If there is no road, what about ambulance or fire truck?
A dumb idea from a dumb arab man
not dumb, just insane.
The guy wanted to put in flying taxis, an artificial beach with glow in the dark sand, and robot dinosaurs.
His grasp on reality is limp at best.
@@Randomyoutuber-4831
So if the gulf becomes green full of rivers before 2030
Is that going to make it better
@@MrNeomian the better question is if that’s actually achievable.
@@Randomyoutuber-4831
If you mean NEOM ! Then yes
If you mean the line it’s doubtable!
Someone probably said that when they started the pyramids!
I met scientist working on this project while in Serengeti
This is not a joke
Stupidity of MBS at its highest.Money that should be spent on development, education and R&Ds.
500 meter high, 170 km long!
In the dessert!? Which mega mega megalomanic madness must stay behind this unreal planing. Then 5 mio. people only earn this gigantic investment back? Only to maintaining this gigantic artificial object in the dessert will be a challenge by itself. Pure money madness!
I had feeling from beginning this is going to be big failure in desert 😅😅😅
Literally not a single person wants to live there. They sure know how to squander money.
How we will then set up permanent moon and Mars base? 😢
“nothing beside remains;
‘Round the decay of that colossal wreck,
The lone and level sands, stretch far away….”
Ozymandias
This idea only made sense in the mind of the crown prince and everyone else tagged along for large pay outs 😂 MBS got played hard.
didnt saudi arabia fail to build a really tall building? how did they expect to build a 170 km long city?
Wasn't saudi Arabia & it didn't fail construction resumed.
They will have very limited foreign investment because of their oppressive laws.
But it’s a country inside a country
As if you lived there
@@mrt7948 that’s just it. I would never live there.

But oil dependency is getting less per each year
And before 2030 it will drop to 50%
They said that many times to other visionaries, I think it’s wonderful that the Prince is striving to bring his country into the future, you guys are so negative, how does one go forward if you think like that, I believe he’ll succeed, it just won’t be as fast as he intended, that’s all. Be kind, he’s trying, give him a break.✝️🙏🇨🇦☮️
Those dollars are gonna be useless soon.
6:45 what oil prices have to do with PIF? Can not PIF massive assests generate enough revenues to fund Neom?
Maybe they should mention how "wide" is the line to better attract investors
The Line should be part of a regular Neom city. Therefore, The Line would work as a tourist destination the same way Burj Khalifa brings tourists to Dubai. By itself is not the destination as it is lacking the regular city vibes.
I don’t know how they can handle new coronavirus variants
Their Saudis, not really bred for thought.
I predict it is going to be scaled back to a grid of streets with buildings between the streets.
How much does it cost to live there. I know if I'm asking I'm to poor to live there.
Depends on the floor
Amen.
Line is not efficient for internal movement and shifting supplies. Instead the shape should have shifted towards triangles emerging on the far corner - for efficiency. Few Lines stretching from sea to common connecting points and Lines have connecting minor lines between as well. So, from top it should resemble Pyramid picture, interconneted as city-wise.
How is it surprising
You don't sayyyyyy
The Dot 👀
It should have been 1 or 2 kilometres in the beginning itself. It would have been a pilot project. Doable. Now negative perception will be a problem.
Why would they need FDI if they have so much money.
There are 3 things that is disrupting the global economy. Gold, Oil and cryptocurrency. These resources cause a major disruption in the financial world that causes instability with energy and communication networks. In my lifetime energy is the number one cause of all problems on planet earth. Renewable clean energy was supposed to be the fix but capitalism inflated that market too and caused problems to get much worse than it was. The markets are so inflated that a global crisis is on the horizon that will have massive implications for everyone around the world that will disrupt every planned future projects. This could set back an entire civilization a 100 years. The fallout will be war, famine, disease, poverty and natural disasters with no funding to correct problems we may face. Greed will destroy the world and poor future planning will leave humanity in a dystopian future with no plan b.
How it is seen on general on the media: MBS Failed, game over go home.
Reality: Neom launched and much focus was dedicated to it. Suddenly Saudi won the host of 2034 World cup plus Expo 2030.
You have to choose and prioritize now.

Clever western companies have made, and are going to make, a lot of money supplying such projects, and then comfortably live in leafy, low-rise Swiss, French, English suburbs 😊
He should focus on giving America, England Europe billions to push for "oil is good" and no need to worry about the "environmental"...
The line is now the dot
Did anyone ever think this was going to happen?
Looks like cargo containers stacked and lined up 😂
No surprise really
In the desert..its absurd.
I found this hillarious, a 105 mile city has turned into a block of flats 😂, fail! 👎🏻
High speed rail way went from connecting the whole country to connecting two cities. As well as it's not very fast too!
I always thought convincing 9 million people to live in small units in the dessert was going to be a hard sell. 300,000 is MUCH more doable.
Interested to see if this takes form.
That's 1 heck of a reduction.
That 's my thought too.
S.A. has a population of just 36 million so moving 9 million to a new location will be very difficult: Some forced relocations may happen.
Even with 300k people, I still wonder what kind of incentive they will get?
Free house is a start + moving bonus? + Jobs?
What I fear is the moving starts with coercion/manipulation!
“Sorry man, we don’t need ya”
“Why, you cutting just me?”
“Well, they cut 150 miles off the building”
“Totes”
😊
Line is the least efficient shape why can’t they see this before wasted all these resources
Why do some people want to live in a desert and pay top dollar for it?
People always lived in the desert and wouldn't leave it for any other place.
@dennisk648
The motivation for people to move to the Line( that I can imagine ) is very well paid jobs.
I think it is unlikely that they are willing to pay top price. On the opposite side, they would request a moving bonus on top of free house.
I hope the gov starts the relocation with generous incentive not coercion/manipulation!!
Surprising who?
pride...
Same pattern as Theranos and Hyperloop, more effort going in BS promises and graphic CGI then actually the build.
Let me guess, 1000 km/h train ?
Obviously you have to build it in phases. It would be impossible to build it at once.
Amazing vision......
Oil prices are up Apr 27. If war doesn't stop it will go up.
I don't see this project happening the way they intended it to be.
Giles makes billions of money 😂😂😂😂😂
i think its great idea if it accommodates well and this will be treated as prototype if it does resonate with people s requirements. they should continue to build it futher
No interest in visiting a long city?
This will be further reduced to 150m length and 50m height :)
All those side walks and infinity pools look like a death sentence for kids and a suicide risk and who dies below when they jump 🤣🤪
I even told this before build better city than Dubai or neon region. You’ll see most of the people will leave Dubai and go to neom
The weather in that region is less humid couple degrees colder than Dubai 2 1/2 hours closer to Europe than Dubai
So it’s better to build a big city with new technology mega big airport towers, high speed, trains even going to tabook cuty who is they can make skiing areas for the winter time but they just built this line so stupid like jail
Saudi Arabia trying hard to catch up with UAE and Qatar but can’t 😂😂
I gave up after a minute. What's the point of this thing?
Ego. That's the point of this thing. It's a way to tell the world, "hey, look I'm so rich that I can waste money with this garbage."

Their next plan is to close their eyes and just pretend to have finished it.

Imagine SA couldn’t even complete the tallest tower in the world let alone 170 kms long enclosed city…😂😂
The architect who came up with this idea must be dumb
It wasnt an architect, it was MPS himself.
Like everything else in the desert, the sand will eventually consume it.
I don't understand the point of this project
Agenda 2030 is the answer.
The population would be wiped out in case of war
This is what happens when large amounts of dumb money meets some shiny new idea.
Why not show the world you can finish something like the Jeddah Tower, even to a lower height? These and not mega-projects, they are mega-fails.
It was just a propaganda
cant blame capitalism or Wall Street for this one. Just one young royal billionaire with more money and drugs than brains.
why not build 1 section let human go in then develop another section
What? Are you sane?
well, our next prez is gonna build a wall and make a neighboring country pay for it, so there's that.

That this project will fail was clear for me from the first time I heard about it. No project in which I was involved was able to be completed within the planned financial framework. And these projects were only fractions of the size of the crazy Neom project. But that'S how these rich lunatics are, simply stupid.
Actually all the architects and engineers who were involved in the planning were lying the prince, cause they surly knew, that this idiotic project will never be finalized! But for good money, one can lie to prince 🤣🤣🤣
