They could've spent that money on countrywide public transportation systems and an improved city planning strategy (country wide), which I think would've taken the country to the next level... I don't believe in built-from-scratch cities (by govs), cities are grown organically by the people.
Yes I totally agree while the gov spending this amount of money in a necessary city , we don't have to forget that 70% of the Saudi citizens are without owned houses. It means they live in rented houses
IMO, it would've been better if they made it circular if they aim that free-flowing, carless city. If the city is circular with the same area as the line, transportation would be much easier, and for it to be walkable is achievable in that shape, not a long straight line.
Sounds like a Futuristic Wasteland to me. Sure it can build some hype upon its launch, but not sure if this will be sustainable. A great urban design adapts on its natural terrain and maximizes the resources around it while this one is the exact opposite.

I don't know man, but this place seems more like it's being built by the ruler's ego and not by the intention to improve the quality of life within their country.

At present the biggest influx of revenue apart from oil is the Haj to Mecca. Its nice to have but its not enough (and it costs KSA as well). Egypt has developed their side of the Red Sea into a tourist magnet so why not the KSA. Tourism does not need advanced skills. Riyadh will soon be near unhabitable in the summer heat extremes.

The last large construction project I know of in a desert was in southern Spain. It was an airport and it became an expensive white elephant. Still Palm Island kind of worked.
For far less money they could have built solar energy farms and constructed massive transmission lines to the EU and Asia. They could have also used the enegy to to make and compress hydrogen, making Saudi Arabia a major energy exporter well into the future. Instead they're pursuing a stupid vanity project wasting their money to build a city inside a stifling trench in the middle of one of the hottest deserts on Earth.

@@theancientsancients1769 Why not build city like Dubai or better version of Dubai? In my opinion, humans are designed to live in circle city where everything is connected.

Humans wants to have sense of community especially Muslims. I don’t see that line presented the Arab people or Islam culture.

The Barcelona Sea Water Desalination Plant cost around 200 000 000 Euro and provides a drinking water output of 200,000m³/day. I strongly recommend they tack one on the ocean end of The Line. Turn some of that Oil money into a really useful future resource.
They already got that, how do you think they can have 34 million inhabitants in a 2 million square km specially the capital which has 7.6 million in the middle of the desert to drink water without rivers. I read somewhere they have the longest artificial river because of their desalination plants and they are investing and created new technologies to make the desalination much cheaper than before.
I moved from LA California to North Georgia in 1993. That was an upgrade for my family and me. Sadly, here in the US deterioration, moral decay, and destruction are like the new normal. Saudi Arabia doesn't even have a permanent river or lake yet they have done so much with what they have. Having constructive dreams and working toward making things better rather than worse is not controversial with normal-thinking people.
For some further context to the money the Saudi's are throwing at this project, they are bringing in experienced ex-pat construction industry executives and paying them annual salaries of £600,000 - £800,000 tax free for 2 year contracts - x5 their UK salaries.
He is such a simple minded man. So many othere things Saudi Arabia could be doing to stay relevant after the diminish the oil reserves and my guy is like, imo build a tourist resort in the middle of the desert.
Too many leaders have enormous egos and care too much about their legacy. Just lead the people following the golden rule (assuming they’re not racist or misogynistic).

They struggled to put together one skyscraper that now sits unfinished at 200m tall. 1/5th of what it’s supposed to be. How are they actually going to construct this massive weird city? Not sure this is honestly desirable for enough people to make this an actual thing for people to move there. They would need trillions in subsidies to get people and industry to move there.
They failed with the skyscraper because first, it wasn't being supported by THE ROYAL FAMILY. It was by ONE MEMBER. And even then, he would have finished it if it wasn't For COVID-19. and MBS also Arrested The guy behind the tower.
I don't get it. Why so many hate comments? It's time we try something new and different to make our lifestyle less stressful for the planet. Even if the project fails, there would be many learnings from it which would enable us in the future.
My theory is that more pragmatic advisors are (hopefully??) going to nod and smile NEOM into a back-burner, long-term project before it massacres the Saudi sovereign wealth fund. If only Faisal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud could see the Kingdom today. In certain ways, MBS is following in his footsteps... in others like this Neom business, by no means.
So they expect nine million people to willfully subject themselves to spending their entire days in a shiny box in the middle of a desert? This is an overly ambition idea that will inevitably flop.
I met a traveller from an antique land, Who said-“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal, these words appear: My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
The idea behind the wall might be that it could create some kind of temperature differential to help trap moisture behind the wall. A lot of evaporation is caused by air, not just by the sun, so perhaps if you build a wall against the wind current that consistently blows strongly in one direction you could trap moisture on the other side and slowly build up a temperature differential that would create a feedback loop.
Actually, it looks like it might be the other way around. With mountains the side that gets all of the wind gets the moisture while the other side is typically dry.
*Retiring from public service made me realize that I had no avenue for passive income, and in 35 years I had only been going in circles financially. I needed to make investments immediately despite retirement and this led me to look for ways to cope. I feel very accomplished whenever I remember my journey and how I was able to grow my portfolio to 7 figures, with the help of my broker Maria Lorena Perez. Truly breathtaking experience.*
Investing in alternate income streams should be the top priority for everyone right now especially given the global economic crisis we are currently experiencing, Stocks, gold, silver, and virtual currencies are still attractive investments at the moment.
I subscribed for a few trading courses but it didn't help much, been getting suggestions to use a proper financial advisor, how do you go about touching base with an advisor ?
I just can't see ever wanting to live somewhere like this. The center of the city will still be more expensive because it is closer to everything and it'd be such a pain having to go from oneside to the other.
A line makes it incredibly inefficient for travelling around. What if you live in one end and you get a job on the other end? You'll be commuting 170km to work every morning ! In order to reduce average travel distances the optimum shape is a circle, that way everything is as close as possible to everything else whilst maintaining the volumetric size.
If you don’t understand the project, it’s best you just shut up. The Line is designed with a metro system that goes from end to end within 30 mins max.
@@nnaif now you just dumb. That train has got to stop at stations, and that's at least one minute average per station and 1km max per station that's still 170 stations with 170 minutes of stationary time. Even if trains skipped stations you have at least 50+ minutes of train stationary time. Add that to the 30 minutes time and you have at least 80 minutes of travel end to end. ( Ignoring the brutal acceleration of your imaginary 340kph underground train ). Either way ridiculously inefficient. Meanwhile if the building was circular, the furthest distance anyone would have to commute would be 27km not 170km, that 80 minutes would be 12 minutes.
@@nnaif if you make it a line you increase average travel distances enourmously. There will be a lot of traffic on the super train. How many stops does it have anyway? Even out of a supertrain people have to get out, which takes 2min per stop.
If Brightline, the only private intercity passenger rail operator in the US, got 500 billion bugs… they could build high speed, intercity, regional, and local rail lines connecting all of the US, and the world economy would just explode, in a positive way, as Brightline can build a high speed line for 8 billion, compared to over 100 billion for california high speed rail.
The Line. Millions of people living in a 170-kms long corridor, but only 200 meters wide, trapped between two walls as high as a mountain. That's quite a futuristic vision of Hell on Earth. I hope the project includes at least one psychiatric hospital, the residents will need it.

No David, can you think of a single project that Prince Mohammad Bin Salman as done were it was a success?? His war in Yemen is a total disaster. His programs for work in his Kingdom was a total joke. Don't get me wrong people like some of his reforms but honesty he has been all that great a leader as far as programs for his people.
Very Rich people had ideas to make more money, a politician has ideas to get more power and control, a poor man has to work for both of them to survive....
In fact, what does a city need to be successful? It needs an airport and a port, it needs transportation, it needs services from hospitals, food stores, police, schools, and parks, whatever the shape and design of the city is traditional, circular, or linear. Living in an area of 500 meters in 170 km is enough, and the city will succeed, I promise you that from Saudi Arabia, Omar 2023.
I was the CFO of an architecture firm who was commissioned to work on 4 100,000 square meter mansions for Neom on the coast. Every step of the way I had a really bad feeling about the team/project and ultimately we dropped out without accepting any payment. All contracts are governed by sharia law which I wasn’t familiar with. I did like their focus on a massive desalination effort and I do hope that aspect of the project works out.
Business contracts sharia compliant just means that no interest payments are involved and that the G & S are also sharia compliant (no casinos, night clubs, alcohol,pork etc.)
That is so cool, I'm super interested in water conservation. Desalination is so frkn expensive! Do you have more info where I can read about Saudi plants they're working on?
I expected it would be more expensive than merely $500 billion. Even though I understand that money is not chump change by all means but we spent almost the same amount solely on the F-35 program lol
I estimated the cost. In The Netherlands to build 1m3 of a normal house costs €700. So we have 200mx500mx170.000m= 17billion m3. 17x€700= €12.000 billion. So 24 times more expensive then their number.

They plan to establish the city of Neom, named after the character Neo from the Matrix movie. In this city, robots will outnumber people, just like in The Matrix. They made the artificial intelligence Sofia robot, and Sofia said that if there was danger to her, she could destroy people. They will make humans and robots fight, as in the Animatrix.

Dubai is different from NEOM. There will people living there for years before the modernization and discovery of oil. NEOM is an entire new city built from the ground.
Because it's not about being realistic, or feasible, it's about making ppl believe in a "vision". Clearly the consultants were paid for their marketing skills, not their architectural ones.

The Barcelona Sea Water Desalination Plant cost around 200 000 000 Euro and provides a drinking water output of 200,000m³/day. I strongly recommend they tack one on the ocean end of The Line. Turn some of that Oil money into a really useful future resource.
They already got that, how do you think they can have 34 million inhabitants in a 2 million square km specially the capital which has 7.6 million in the middle of the desert to drink water without rivers.
I read somewhere they have the longest artificial river because of their desalination plants and they are investing and created new technologies to make the desalination much cheaper than before.
I moved from LA California to North Georgia in 1993. That was an upgrade for my family and me. Sadly, here in the US deterioration, moral decay, and destruction are like the new normal. Saudi Arabia doesn't even have a permanent river or lake yet they have done so much with what they have. Having constructive dreams and working toward making things better rather than worse is not controversial with normal-thinking people.
For some further context to the money the Saudi's are throwing at this project, they are bringing in experienced ex-pat construction industry executives and paying them annual salaries of £600,000 - £800,000 tax free for 2 year contracts - x5 their UK salaries.
They do not need any "ex-pats". The bin ladens own the largest construction company in the world which employs west asians "executives"

Who said-“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

The idea behind the wall might be that it could create some kind of temperature differential to help trap moisture behind the wall. A lot of evaporation is caused by air, not just by the sun, so perhaps if you build a wall against the wind current that consistently blows strongly in one direction you could trap moisture on the other side and slowly build up a temperature differential that would create a feedback loop.
Actually, it looks like it might be the other way around. With mountains the side that gets all of the wind gets the moisture while the other side is typically dry.

A line makes it incredibly inefficient for travelling around. What if you live in one end and you get a job on the other end? You'll be commuting 170km to work every morning !
In order to reduce average travel distances the optimum shape is a circle, that way everything is as close as possible to everything else whilst maintaining the volumetric size.

That train has got to stop at stations, and that's at least one minute average per station and 1km max per station that's still 170 stations with 170 minutes of stationary time.

Either way ridiculously inefficient.
Meanwhile if the building was circular, the furthest distance anyone would have to commute would be 27km not 170km, that 80 minutes would be 12 minutes.

All contracts are governed by sharia law which I wasn’t familiar with.

Business contracts sharia compliant just means that no interest payments are involved and that the G & S are also sharia compliant (no casinos, night clubs, alcohol,pork etc.)
Just means no interest in this case since interest is forbidden in Islam.
