Yes, it is ridiculously over sized and bound to fail. Projects like this need to be planned in stages. Why not plan to build a few km of the Mirror Line and expand the other 170km as needed?
Well it feels like a massive investment opportunity and I highly doubt this would get built, even if they started construction. The kingdom tower stands about 20 stories of foundation and that’s just a sky scraper…so yeah.
There is nothing to say that it wouldn't have plenty of space, that all comes down to design. There is about zero chance this project goes anywhere, but space exists in 3 dimensions, upwards is space just the same as out is. The main issue is cost, cost dictates how much space people get, based on what people can afford. Like anything, if it was built, rich people would get the prime spots with the most space, and poor people would get smaller crappier abodes within the structure, but most of these kind of fantasy projects start off with claims of equity where everyone will have plenty of everything.

I like the idea of vertical living, no cars etc, but there's just no need to make the scale so absurdly huge. It would be better to make it half as high and just extend the line as demand requires. Also it need not stretch deep into the empty desert, just build along the coast instead. That way you have more seafront views, more room for habours/marinas, a cooler climate and you could have it act as a giant desalination plant for fresh water.
Actually this is the plan, first phase will be by 2035 in the middle of the line with a 6km long hosting 500k people, and will stretch from both sides as required expecting to reach 9 million people by 2050.
Understatement of the century. It's going down in freefall. 30 years ago row houses felt cramped (houses built side by side with a shared wall), then apartments entered the scene, usually in big blocks, then renovating those row houses into apartments became a thing, cramped to super cramped, now studios are a thing where a single apartment is chopped in 2 or 3 to give every tenant a single room with everything in it, somtimes with a shared kitchen or ... even bathroom. This is in the big cities and the price of those shoeboxes can get you a house with land somewhere else. Saudi Arabia is creating a model shoebox for the future cities. Insane and absolutely absurd.
@@Krasno- some european countries seem to have figured out how to do everything efficiently. instead of building insanely tall skyscrapers that get exponentially more expensive and impractical with each floor, why not build small apartment blocks that are 4-6 floors tall? they're more than twice as cost efficient, don't take up too much space and still have a sort of "community" feel that urban neighborhoods do. the lower floors can be transformed into small stores where basic amenities are provided, making every amenity within a 15 minute walk away. since these blocks are cheaper to construct, rent prices don't usually spiral out of control
This is a good example of what 3D softwares and technologies can do to paint what we can imagine and not what we can truely achieve. It's just like watching a science fiction movie. Looks too good to be true. And yes, a good concept for a movie.
I can make a wall that is 5 km high and 500 km long on Solidworks. And a concrete and glass sphere that is about 10 km high. Projects like nothing ever created before. It's called Atlantis. It will be able to fit 1 billion people and will be completely self sustainable. I hope the investors will come and finance it.

Because it’s not sand dunes it’s hard ground.. I am from there and I know plus we have hundreds of cities in the deserts and sand doesn’t pile up even if it does it’s not much.. NEOM is in north western Saudi just next to Sharm Alshaikh, Eilat and Aqabah.. plus there will also be tunnels for wild animals to pass thru the line..
Has anyone considered the effect on the local climate? Would such a long, tall structure not block some wind flow coming off the sea - a little like how mountains have a dry shadow on the other side?
Not to mention that the sun would be beating down on a large ass mirror that will reflect the heat back to earth won’t be able to escape and will always be heating the earth
@@mosesnacorie9681 Intrestingly enough, dry on one side and wet on the other could even be a useful trait. There are many possible innovations that could utilize such a change in humidity/moisture. For example a humidity gradient-based power generator, where the difference in moisture could be a source of electric power. It wouldn't be a very large amount of power, but it would be a very consistent backup for solar and wind power. You could probably also use the humidity gradient to produce fresh drinking water by having a filter that goes from the wet side through to the dry side of the wall, the water would be pulled into the filter by sheer vapour preassure without the need of an external power source. Though i admit that such device would be far from efficient in of itself. I'm not saying that its worth it to have such a difference in humidity when constructing buildings as it also causes various problems, but i am saying that there are atleast potential upsides aswell.
There would be an incredible amount of heat generated by the mirroring facades. A reflective surface of this size could easily change the average temperature of the area. Not to mention that Saudi Arabia is already in one of the hottest climates on Earth.

The most terrifying fact about these very long mirror walls, is the enormous amount of solar energy that will be focused at the ground, and into the air around the buildings. And if two are built side by side, they will act like solar ovens, heating each other and creating a horrific heat issue that will make them practically uninhabitable. Beyond that, is the immense light that the residents will deal with, blasting through their windows, which will require them to keep their window shade units closed at all times the sun is shining. Plus, there is a major psychological issue with structures that are tall, thin and very long that force humans to move in one linear direction to get anywhere. There is an inherent slavery in this design that encourages massive depression in the people who live there. On paper, it's a great design. In the real world, it's a horrible idea bound to cost trillions more than it is ultimately worth to overcome the restrictions of the high heat, high solar energy environment, it is slated to be built in. You would likely have to wear silver covered solar fire clothing, to actually stand in the environment, the reflection of a long wall of glass would focus on the ground. For a nation of men who have always been brilliant at hiding their skin from the horrendous heat of the sun under valiant robes and clothing, this structure makes no sense. They know better than anyone. You must respect the power of the Sun.

Saudi Arabia is about 50 years too late. Hermetically-sealed Mirror Line-type projects were built all over the United States back in the 1960s and 1970s but on a much smaller scale. They were called Biosphere or something like that. They were promoted as the path to a "sustainable" future, but virtually every one of them has been abandoned. I lived in one in the late 1970s and it was crap. I moved out after three years and even the builders eventually moved out. Saudi Arabia will start this project and abandon it quickly, I predict.
@@aghoridevta4338 u thionk 1 trillion dollar is a joke ? burj khalifa the worlds tallest building costed 1.5 billion. 1 trillion is 1000 billion dollars. now jst imagine it.
The project looks like some post future apocalyptic city where all humans are stuck in and all around the city is Danger zone. Without cars, will they use fast trains or come up with some futuristic hyper speed horizontal lift or shuttle. Seems pretty interesting, I don’t mind living in such a city just because I’m that much of a geek and it seems fascinating!
You've gotta ask yourself : what needs does this project fill? If there's no solid need that can't be achieved in some other simpler and cost-effective way, then it's bound to fail.
Imagine a fire or an outbreak, good luck leaving from 1 of 2 ends. Besides that who wants to stair at empty dunes assuming your unit is outward facing. It’d be better to have an interior unit, view wise.
Some would say there is a need at the us/mex border. House refugees for different periods of time and people get their wall that trumpster campaigned on.
@@samuela-aegisdottir what animals? Migrating birds? I did my own research and couldn't find any migrating birds traversing the structure. Perhaps you're talking about scorpions, snacks, jerboas.. etc? Well, they bury themselves in and already to avoid the heat, won't make much difference

I think the idea seems like one of those films where someone is kept in the same place for their whole life but then they go out and it’s completely weird and different so I’m not that sure if I like it
When I moved here in 2026, it was actually quite good. The many clicking and falling birds have either gotten used to the mirror or have died out. Ramadan is a bit annoying because the noise only completely disappeared after a week of echoing. But apart from that everything is good. Last week I went on a boat tour. But after 150 miles of subway I realized I had gone to the camels. So… it wasn't ideal with swimming trunks. Otherwise one can say that life is good here. Schools, kindergartens, everything great. My interview partner has now also gone to the next apartment. The gun on my forehead bothered me a bit.
Personally, I'd feel awkward living in a 270 km long city in the middle of nowhere with no car to visit my friends on the opposite side or evacuate in case of an emergency or if I don't like living there. Sounds like a prison or something.
@@knightofjustice5475 whatever the intention may be, the fact is that watching people build ambitious things is inspiring. We always talk about building the cities of the future, yet every time someone attempts something, we put them down
@@videowilliams I read a news report about the BLM protest in US, where the peaceful protesters was boxed in by the cops with closing roads with barricades and copious amount of tear gas.

I'll prefer to invest in that bcz when the world will not be habitable bcz of electric cars anymore, I'll go and live on moon with those oxygen filled suits for maybe a couple of more weeks.😂😂
The line would make more sense as the square. Then they could use the land inside for agriculture. Water reservoirs and stuff. The mirrors and the height would keep it cool enough to sustain that
by Robert Kuczmarski - July 26, 2022 Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, unveiled the designs Monday, July 25, touting it as a "civilizational revolution that puts humans first." 0:07 According to the Wall Street Journal, the so-called horizontal skyscraper will cost a whopping $1 trillion and consist of two, carbon-neutral buildings with shiny mirror-like walls 1,600 feet tall. It is expected to stretch for 75 miles across the desert city Neom and support a linear community of nearly five million people. Source: Benzinga
The Line will be located near the Red Sea, spanning 34 square kilometres and with a capacity to host 9 million people. Despite its vast length, the proposed width of the linear city is just 200 metres, with the height of its skyscrapers reaching 500 metres - taller than the Empire State Building. This city will be free of streets, automobiles, and greenhouse gas emissions and will rely 100% on renewable resources. 6:19 Source: The New Arab
It's a giant prison with only artificial light at the bottom, where the poor live. If you are near the middle, it will take hours to be able to quit the building if you live in the middle, and since it will have its own administration and laws (according to the project), it will essentially be like a death giant trap for its inhabitants. Imagine having to take an elevator to go to the top just to see the outside. Now it sounds like a prison, doesn't it ? The access to the top may be restricted to only certain classes of population if the powerful want. You cannot start demonstrations in The Line, as you are immediately circled by cops on the left and the right. The super rich will live nearby the sea, where they have direct access to the water and can escape easily if needed. On the other side they can leave quite quickly as well, but they are dependent on water and if there is a sabotage, potentially millions of people would be cut off water. If electricity is cut, the building would overheat in a matter of days. The rest willl be trapped for hours if not days as well. Giant waste of money for a completely dystopian world imagined by a rich idiot.
Yes its wild, I read the structure is expected to cost a whopping $1 trillion upon completion, you could feed all the poorest people of the world for 25 years for that money. I hope they use some of the ideas and build a small scale project, would love to see a futuristic city that actual works on all levels.
I also have another idea. Instead of making it a line, why not make it into a more adaptable structure like, for example, ⭐a circle⭐, circles are a much better shape for cities since it allows them to expand freely while ignoring obstacles like hills and deserts, they are also much denser (compare literally any city with this). By the way normal cities don't need giant fucking mirrors to support their structure since they can have the ground support them. Also I find it unnecessary for them to be 500 meters tall since they are in the middle of a fucking desert, I mean, there's pratically unlimited space to build anything and they chose *THIS.* with 1 trillion dollars you could completely diversify the economy of Saudi Arabia by investing in education, in the private sector and making it a more attractive place for educated people to live, something the government desperately needs to do. But NOOO, you need to build a colossal fucking glass rectangle worth a trillion dollars that is a painful slap in the face of the Saudi people who need to see their money going into building this thing that can only be classified as a parasite that is perfectly designed to suck money from the people and stupid investors. Sorry for the rant, but it's just this stupid.
Circles are for yurts and carnival wagons. There are no circles in nature.A very slight crescent, perhaps, to honor their crescent and star icons, and more structural stability. A slight crescent is optimal acoustically to detect the thrumb of the Wurm looking for Spice..
I suppose as long as it's a single building it could still be considered the first megastructure humanity ever built. But they seem keen on building a line so whatever. Hopefully it works out since O'Neill Cylinders will basically be the same thing.
As a German architect, some questions arise in my mind. Due to the strongly deviating temperature influences, I wonder how the project reacts to the basic principles of thermodynamics. Because in this building project, and especially due to the length and height, building materials expand differently. This would cause fatal damage or worse to the building. I also see coming social problems not only in the construction of this giant structure but also in its finished state. Scenarios like recently in Qatar where only during the construction of stadiums and hotels estimated 6,500 people have perished would be quite higher with such a structure. I can not really get anything out of the whole thing.
(6,500 people have perished)envy, jealousy of western satanic society, and media against Islam and the Muslims -the last true believing people of the planet of darwin's monkeys!
You actually can build huge reinforced concrete structures, monolithically, that dont fail/significantly expand/contract with temp fluctuation . Think of bridges, damn walls , of course office towers . It would be like conventional apartments , with a discontinuous curtain facade wall that allowed for the thermal conditions you describe . The whole project will never go ahead though.
seems like they no longer teach architecture or urban planing in germany if you are asking such meaningless questions this project is massive investment con and will never be build
Personally, I’d never live in that style of a community. I want my space & freedom, like my backyard to play with my dog, nice size front yard, 2 car garage with my workshop & a small place for my vegetable garden. I have all that now in the suburbs & would not give it up. It’d take a whole new generation that isn’t used to my lifestyle, to buy into this dream of living in the 2030’s. Good luck.
As awesome as the idea sounds, it's highly dangerous in terms of disease. If a disease broke out, it would easily spread across the entirety of the mirror line. It's a brilliant concept, but very unsafe due to the density of living conditions.
Why would you want to live in a linear facility like this in the middle of a dune. You’re in a prison and there’s no scenery. You walk straight the whole time. It’s not coming to fruition anytime soon if at all.
Exactly! The number of elevators this Line would have to have is astonishing and these like the trains would be a haven for bacteria and viruses. Disease would spread very quickly in a city like this. You couldn’t possibly disinfect fast enough and couldn’t even pause the trains to do so.
you know why they are using the same old boring ones? because they work, proven, and they how much they cost. new ideas usually end up very costly and some time end up a disaster.
enclosed line cities have been done in the USA in the 70s but on a smaller scale , so you're all dumb. Someone in the comments lived in one and posted it was crap and he moved out after a short while
I am seeing this now and am surprised.I already saw this in my past dreams. Except, in my dreams where it extends to the sea, it opens wide and has a protection for a port- to prevent any massive issues with waves it looked like. You need to take into consideration floods, so if you are building this, ensure all housing is way off ground. Also, consider worldly changes like continent shifts and how the water from the sea may inpact such a structure. If water rises for any reason, it will literally feed/barrel into this line all the way.
I have a better idea that the double Mirror Line, the problem with this concept is the problems of earthquakes, or tidal waves, even with the foundation on sand makes it only half as strong and secure. Having a building that large and tall for a long line would be unstable due to the wind storms.
This is also a concept that works well as a wall separating Mexico and the US (doesn't have to be very high). It would be a wall of over 500 million apartments. So it could be a wall of good.
All great projects that have been undertaken throughout history have had their share of sceptics. With the right kind of determination and the right kind of money, it can be done, the same applies to investing.
It's always the hard times that show us how to be better investors for the long term or even evolve our risk tolerances or industries/assets of focus over time . Already viewing the current stock market downturn as a giant opportunity for me and my family to make good gains.

There are many giant projects in Saudi Arabia, which I see as realistic, such as the downtown Jeddah project, the Qiddiya project, the Diriyah project, the Journey through time project in Al-Ula, the Al-Soudah project, the Amaala project, the Red Sea Islands project, and the King Abdulaziz Road project in Makkah, but the NEOM project is a fictional project as if you are watching science fiction movie
It’s not fictional it’s real! It’s just a new concept of cities! Thinking and trying things out of the box.. I am very optimistic about it. People are so flexible and their lifestyles are also very flexible and construction is also possible since it’s basically a giga skyscraper and I believe it will expand naturally and will be built in phases..
yes and they are also numerous who have gone bankrupt and stopped construction wasting billion. That’s what happened when you have too much money and don’t know what else to do. But that’s beside the point. A huge project is one thing, but taking a huge project and multiplying it by 10 thousand is science fiction, and this project is just that.

Have you thought about on the ends of this lines to put the mirror response up that you are using the molten salt with reflection on the inside to learn how to develop the different structures spread of the plants
This actually just makes me think they know something we don't, like they're secretly building walls to eventually keep something out but just playing it off as a building project
This feels like of like a prototype of Elysium. Also, considering the magnitude of the project I'd think it would cost several trillions of dollars at the very least, if not tens of trillions. If each skyscraper would be only $250M, for 4,000 of them that would be $1T. But there's also the cost of building the city within them as well.
I'm going to live here. Yes a prototype for elysium my cousin can jump into other worlds including futuristic worlds far more developed then Earth. Im also training currently to do this, it'll be nice living here even if I'm not rooted on Earth elysium is definitely getting closer in this world
I don't know how that would work but I like the idea of trying out a different city layout that favors practical transportation and irrigation better than current city layouts which were mostly not built with energy conservation as a factor during construction. That being said ... These Concepts should be put to the test in microscale as an experiment
@@robertmarmaduke186 Old cities are more energy efficient due to the use of horse and buggies......................RIGHT lmfao. Actually got a FAT chuckle thank you sir.
The structures can be built, no doubt about it. The big question is who will live in this megaproject. What are the attractions of this project that people would want to live there? Why will they want to live there? What will they do there? Are they employees or entrepreneurs or owners of businesses there? So many social, economic, legal and political issues that I hope had already been addressed before the Saudis decided to proceed with this project.
Every reasonable idea starts of a a fantastic fantasy. If the end product falls short of the dream there should still be something amazing in its place.

@@MH1997 A private company was contracted to build it as part of a government project to develop a planned city (Jeddah Economic City). If the company has trouble completing the project, the government can either bail out the company to finish the project or contract it out to some other company, but the project has been on hold since 2018. This means the government itself is having some kind of trouble, either political or economic or both, that is getting in the way of dealing with the incomplete project. Either way, if the Saudi government can't even finish what they've started, it certainly won't inspire any confidence in this sci-fi like project.
Architecture changes the way we live. It can be more efficient and comfortable or not. If The Line does accomplish it’s goals, people will see it’s advantages and luxurious options and want to try the new living environment. We are only limited by our imagination. They must try and build their new city of the future. There are many talented minds working on the project that can make it happen.

How will Mirror line cope with building fires, with the high walls and the buildings stacked next to each other. The hot air has nowhere to escape and it will cause a firestorm within the high walls
The first thing that came to mind was... How do you get from one side of this Mirror Line structure to the other side? I hope they don't forget to allow for this movement. This structure will literally divide the country.
This is very interesting. Will the external facing glass be double glazed to reduce heat transfer? Will there be small corridors or tubes that allow Wildlife to move where it wants and needs to go regardless of the presence of the building?

No shot. Even if they get the funding to actually build this, there is no way that there will be enough people living there to sustain it. This is something that we would do if we are moving to Mars or something, definitely not on Earth with what we have today.
I don’t think it will be built any time soon but we will have to start with mega projects like this soon or humanity won’t survive with the kind of wealth we have right now for much longer
I strongly agree with you mate. Investment is the key to sustaining our financial longevity, and not just any investment but an investment with guaranteed return.
To earn more you are required to have a multiple diversified stream of income, which is why investment is an avenue of making more money once it's profitable.

Or maybe several smaller ones. Is everyone in Saudi 🇸🇦 Arabia supposed to move into this one monolithic structure?

The future truly looks bleak, as long as we have those in control with visions such as this.
Understatement of the century. It's going down in freefall. 30 years ago row houses felt cramped (houses built side by side with a shared wall), then apartments entered the scene, usually in big blocks, then renovating those row houses into apartments became a thing, cramped to super cramped, now studios are a thing where a single apartment is chopped in 2 or 3 to give every tenant a single room with everything in it, somtimes with a shared kitchen or ... even bathroom. This is in the big cities and the price of those shoeboxes can get you a house with land somewhere else. Saudi Arabia is creating a model shoebox for the future cities. Insane and absolutely absurd.
They want us all in prison, chipped, vaxed and traced like cattle.
@@Krasno- some european countries seem to have figured out how to do everything efficiently. instead of building insanely tall skyscrapers that get exponentially more expensive and impractical with each floor, why not build small apartment blocks that are 4-6 floors tall? they're more than twice as cost efficient, don't take up too much space and still have a sort of "community" feel that urban neighborhoods do. the lower floors can be transformed into small stores where basic amenities are provided, making every amenity within a 15 minute walk away. since these blocks are cheaper to construct, rent prices don't usually spiral out of control

Good question
dont worry man. ur question isnt dumb. alot of us are asking this question among others
Forget the sand. One major fire that gets out of control would take down a good chunk or the whole thing.
Because it’s not sand dunes it’s hard ground.. I am from there and I know plus we have hundreds of cities in the deserts and sand doesn’t pile up even if it does it’s not much.. NEOM is in north western Saudi just next to Sharm Alshaikh, Eilat and Aqabah.. plus there will also be tunnels for wild animals to pass thru the line..
Lasers.
Has anyone considered the effect on the local climate? Would such a long, tall structure not block some wind flow coming off the sea - a little like how mountains have a dry shadow on the other side?
If heading north is okay.
But If heading west this could be have some issue.
Dry at one side of the wall.
Wet at the opposite..

Not to mention that the sun would be beating down on a large ass mirror that will reflect the heat back to earth won’t be able to escape and will always be heating the earth
or what happens if theres a major fire
@@mosesnacorie9681 Intrestingly enough, dry on one side and wet on the other could even be a useful trait.
There are many possible innovations that could utilize such a change in humidity/moisture.
For example a humidity gradient-based power generator, where the difference in moisture could be a source of electric power.
It wouldn't be a very large amount of power, but it would be a very consistent backup for solar and wind power.
You could probably also use the humidity gradient to produce fresh drinking water by having a filter that goes from the wet side through to the dry side of the wall,
the water would be pulled into the filter by sheer vapour preassure without the need of an external power source.
Though i admit that such device would be far from efficient in of itself.
I'm not saying that its worth it to have such a difference in humidity when constructing buildings as it also causes various problems,
but i am saying that there are atleast potential upsides aswell.
It is no business of yours.
There would be an incredible amount of heat generated by the mirroring facades. A reflective surface of this size could easily change the average temperature of the area. Not to mention that Saudi Arabia is already in one of the hottest climates on Earth.

The most terrifying fact about these very long mirror walls, is the enormous amount of solar energy that will be focused at the ground, and into the air around the buildings. And if two are built side by side, they will act like solar ovens, heating each other and creating a horrific heat issue that will make them practically uninhabitable. Beyond that, is the immense light that the residents will deal with, blasting through their windows, which will require them to keep their window shade units closed at all times the sun is shining. Plus, there is a major psychological issue with structures that are tall, thin and very long that force humans to move in one linear direction to get anywhere. There is an inherent slavery in this design that encourages massive depression in the people who live there. On paper, it's a great design. In the real world, it's a horrible idea bound to cost trillions more than it is ultimately worth to overcome the restrictions of the high heat, high solar energy environment, it is slated to be built in. You would likely have to wear silver covered solar fire clothing, to actually stand in the environment, the reflection of a long wall of glass would focus on the ground. For a nation of men who have always been brilliant at hiding their skin from the horrendous heat of the sun under valiant robes and clothing, this structure makes no sense. They know better than anyone. You must respect the power of the Sun.

Saudi Arabia is about 50 years too late. Hermetically-sealed Mirror Line-type projects were built all over the United States back in the 1960s and 1970s but on a much smaller scale. They were called Biosphere or something like that. They were promoted as the path to a "sustainable" future, but virtually every one of them has been abandoned. I lived in one in the late 1970s and it was crap. I moved out after three years and even the builders eventually moved out. Saudi Arabia will start this project and abandon it quickly, I predict.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the so-called horizontal skyscraper will cost a whopping $1 trillion and consist of two, carbon-neutral buildings with shiny mirror-like walls 1,600 feet tall. It is expected to stretch for 75 miles across the desert city Neom and support a linear community of nearly five million people.

The big question is can you move out of the line once you've moved in?
you have evrything in the line, but yes you can
It's a giant prison with only artificial light at the bottom, where the poor live. If you are near the middle, it will take hours to be able to quit the building if you live in the middle, and since it will have its own administration and laws (according to the project), it will essentially be like a death giant trap for its inhabitants. Imagine having to take an elevator to go to the top just to see the outside. Now it sounds like a prison, doesn't it ? The access to the top may be restricted to only certain classes of population if the powerful want.
You cannot start demonstrations in The Line, as you are immediately circled by cops on the left and the right.
The super rich will live nearby the sea, where they have direct access to the water and can escape easily if needed. On the other side they can leave quite quickly as well, but they are dependent on water and if there is a sabotage, potentially millions of people would be cut off water. If electricity is cut, the building would overheat in a matter of days. The rest willl be trapped for hours if not days as well.

I also have another idea. Instead of making it a line, why not make it into a more adaptable structure like, for example, ⭐a circle⭐, circles are a much better shape for cities since it allows them to expand freely while ignoring obstacles like hills and deserts, they are also much denser (compare literally any city with this).
By the way normal cities don't need giant fucking mirrors to support their structure since they can have the ground support them.
Also I find it unnecessary for them to be 500 meters tall since they are in the middle of a fucking desert, I mean, there's pratically unlimited space to build anything and they chose *THIS.* with 1 trillion dollars you could completely diversify the economy of Saudi Arabia by investing in education, in the private sector and making it a more attractive place for educated people to live, something the government desperately needs to do. But NOOO, you need to build a colossal fucking glass rectangle worth a trillion dollars that is a painful slap in the face of the Saudi people who need to see their money going into building this thing that can only be classified as a parasite that is perfectly designed to suck money from the people and stupid investors. Sorry for the rant, but it's just this stupid.
Finally, some actual sanity in the comments

As a German architect, some questions arise in my mind. Due to the strongly deviating temperature influences, I wonder how the project reacts to the basic principles of thermodynamics. Because in this building project, and especially due to the length and height, building materials expand differently. This would cause fatal damage or worse to the building. I also see coming social problems not only in the construction of this giant structure but also in its finished state. Scenarios like recently in Qatar where only during the construction of stadiums and hotels estimated 6,500 people have perished would be quite higher with such a structure. I can not really get anything out of the whole thing.

You actually can build huge reinforced concrete structures, monolithically, that dont fail/significantly expand/contract with temp fluctuation . Think of bridges, damn walls , of course office towers . It would be like conventional apartments , with a discontinuous curtain facade wall that allowed for the thermal conditions you describe . The whole project will never go ahead though.
seems like they no longer teach architecture or urban planing in germany if you are asking such meaningless questions

Personally, I’d never live in that style of a community. I want my space & freedom, like my backyard to play with my dog, nice size front yard, 2 car garage with my workshop & a small place for my vegetable garden. I have all that now in the suburbs & would not give it up.
It’d take a whole new generation that isn’t used to my lifestyle, to buy into this dream of living in the 2030’s. Good luck.

As awesome as the idea sounds, it's highly dangerous in terms of disease. If a disease broke out, it would easily spread across the entirety of the mirror line. It's a brilliant concept, but very unsafe due to the density of living conditions.

Welcome to cities in general. Cities are stupid..
Why would you want to live in a linear facility like this in the middle of a dune. You’re in a prison and there’s no scenery. You walk straight the whole time. It’s not coming to fruition anytime soon if at all.
Exactly! The number of elevators this Line would have to have is astonishing and these like the trains would be a haven for bacteria and viruses. Disease would spread very quickly in a city like this. You couldn’t possibly disinfect fast enough and couldn’t even pause the trains to do so.
Also, I'd assume this linear city to be incredible difficult to defend in case of an invasion.

I am seeing this now and am surprised.I already saw this in my past dreams. Except, in my dreams where it extends to the sea, it opens wide and has a protection for a port- to prevent any massive issues with waves it looked like. You need to take into consideration floods, so if you are building this, ensure all housing is way off ground. Also, consider worldly changes like continent shifts and how the water from the sea may inpact such a structure. If water rises for any reason, it will literally feed/barrel into this line all the way.
I have a better idea that the double Mirror Line, the problem with this concept is the problems of earthquakes, or tidal waves, even with the foundation on sand makes it only half as strong and secure. Having a building that large and tall for a long line would be unstable due to the wind storms.

Have you thought about on the ends of this lines to put the mirror response up that you are using the molten salt with reflection on the inside to learn how to develop the different structures spread of the plants
Love from India enjoy watching your videos
Thank you very much! 😄
This actually just makes me think they know something we don't, like they're secretly building walls to eventually keep something out but just playing it off as a building project
Soon this creeps arent able to exist in the new matrix. So they build there own shitholes with the needed frequency patterns to live further.
Same thoughts
1:01 zero cars, zero streets, zero carbon emissions
and ZERO % chance of it happening.
🤣
Absurd is a wonderful description.
This feels like of like a prototype of Elysium. Also, considering the magnitude of the project I'd think it would cost several trillions of dollars at the very least, if not tens of trillions. If each skyscraper would be only $250M, for 4,000 of them that would be $1T. But there's also the cost of building the city within them as well.
I think it would cost more like, $1B each tower x 4000 = absurd.
I'm going to live here. Yes a prototype for elysium my cousin can jump into other worlds including futuristic worlds far more developed then Earth. Im also training currently to do this, it'll be nice living here even if I'm not rooted on Earth elysium is definitely getting closer in this world
They have the Saudi people, as slaves, for that.

Nice content. To me trading the forex and crypto market is way better than any online investment
@Elizabeth James I agree with your sentiments
I'm yet to see the backtested results in my trading account, so I'm also working on being more aggressive in adding to winners....

Started my trade in Crypto as a newbie, with Zero knowledge of what i am doing but meeting Mr Greg T. Martin fx has been Amazing and a blessing to me
I don't know how that would work but I like the idea of trying out a different city layout that favors practical transportation and irrigation better than current city layouts which were mostly not built with energy conservation as a factor during construction. That being said ... These Concepts should be put to the test in microscale as an experiment
Yeah old cities build during horse and buggy days weren't energy conservative ... r-i-i-i-i-ght.
@@robertmarmaduke186 I re read that and your Right... That bit was a mistake... And I removed it.. thx for helping me clarify
@@robertmarmaduke186 Old cities are more energy efficient due to the use of horse and buggies......................RIGHT lmfao. Actually got a FAT chuckle thank you sir.
The structures can be built, no doubt about it. The big question is who will live in this megaproject. What are the attractions of this project that people would want to live there? Why will they want to live there? What will they do there? Are they employees or entrepreneurs or owners of businesses there? So many social, economic, legal and political issues that I hope had already been addressed before the Saudis decided to proceed with this project.
Honestly I hope it gets built. It looks pretty cool to me.
Yep! If you really want to live there. The question is: we all will have choice? These ideas of a better non organic world scarring me.
If they manage to do it this will be the biggest construction achievement in human history.
Nope if it get successfully completed still it will become the worst waste of money 😂
@@janvhi5923 Well that's completely different than what I said isn't it.
It would be an architectural marvel. Doesn't mean its worth it.
It's already insane if its 1km long, now 170km? Wow. Try 1km 1st. Then see if it's worth expanding.
Now thats the point!
ESE PROYECTO ES UNA LOCURA.
Sick vid
Every reasonable idea starts of a a fantastic fantasy. If the end product falls short of the dream there should still be something amazing in its place.
The Line is getting my interest. If I live to see it completed, I’ll be thoroughly impressed.
You will probably not be alive by then
the mirror line concept is great for living in harsh desert conditions
Actually, a tent is a better concept
If they finish the Jeddah tower, then, maybe I'll believe this could be built.
Jeddah tower belongs to someone doesn’t belong to the Government
Jeddah Tower is a private company project, not a government project
The jeddah tower delay is related to Saudi campaign against corruption
First owner is still in prison (Bakker bin Laden)
Second owner is Alwaleed bin talal who did huge settlement with the Gov which costs him a fortune
@@MH1997 A private company was contracted to build it as part of a government project to develop a planned city (Jeddah Economic City). If the company has trouble completing the project, the government can either bail out the company to finish the project or contract it out to some other company, but the project has been on hold since 2018. This means the government itself is having some kind of trouble, either political or economic or both, that is getting in the way of dealing with the incomplete project. Either way, if the Saudi government can't even finish what they've started, it certainly won't inspire any confidence in this sci-fi like project.
Hopefully the tower doesn't get finished and no continuation happens.
Architecture changes the way we live. It can be more efficient and comfortable or not. If The Line does accomplish it’s goals, people will see it’s advantages and luxurious options and want to try the new living environment. We are only limited by our imagination. They must try and build their new city of the future. There are many talented minds working on the project that can make it happen.
imagine getting a job in same building where you live and it is 150km away 💀

Thinking about this is way too insane let alone the reality of it
It will remain a science fiction fantasy at least in my lifetime.
How old are you?
@@Nope991 I would rather not say. I don't think it will be finished within the next 50 years though. Maybe it's because i am accustomed to the lazy american unionized work standard.
i like the general idea. i think it would be better to start this project on a smaller scale and build to where it can easily be expanded upon. also won't the glass reflecting just create more heat in the outside if the glass wall? what is the plan to counteract the heat from the sun reflecting off the glass?
Well u cant think of any proboem that might occur from the sun beams being reflected to the outside

4 years of UK carbon in exchange for this awesome thing producing NONE ever again sounds like a pretty good trade to me…?
How will Mirror line cope with building fires, with the high walls and the buildings stacked next to each other. The hot air has nowhere to escape and it will cause a firestorm within the high walls
Great content.
Seems very challenging to build and put people in this megaproject.
Consesus all they way.
Sounds very exciting but also terrifying
Nothing exciting about that whatsoever. You cant ever leave as everything is under one roof and there are no cars.
The first thing that came to mind was... How do you get from one side of this Mirror Line structure to the other side? I hope they don't forget to allow for this movement. This structure will literally divide the country.
This is very interesting. Will the external facing glass be double glazed to reduce heat transfer? Will there be small corridors or tubes that allow Wildlife to move where it wants and needs to go regardless of the presence of the building?
What kind a wildlife exist there?
It's a bunch of sand dune mate, Scorpions 🦂 will not be migrating .

@@raheemallen2003 Jesus loves you to get a lot of help. ASAP.
He is talking about the dessert snake perhaps.
Not possible, it will cost 10 of trillions+. They should just focus on more small scale cities like Dubai.
This is such a large structure that it makes everything else look tiny!

Right now, the wisest thing for everyone to do is to invest in non-government sources of income. Especially given the current global economic crisis. This is still a fantastic time to invest in stocks and digital currencies..
@Bryan Awesome!! There are several testimonials for this lady Melisa; I discovered her page a few weeks ago when searching her name on the internet; she is a true professional.
Given the macroeconomic situation that influences all equities and Cryptos, now is the best time to invest! I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of stocks and cryptocurrencies doubled by the end of the year.
Bryan is such a bot bro, and people really fall for it 🙄
Jesus the trolls
No shot. Even if they get the funding to actually build this, there is no way that there will be enough people living there to sustain it. This is something that we would do if we are moving to Mars or something, definitely not on Earth with what we have today.
I don’t think it will be built any time soon but we will have to start with mega projects like this soon or humanity won’t survive with the kind of wealth we have right now for much longer
@@jacoburban2757 we're already behind schedule

I think they can make a movie from this sketch 😌

Won't the mirrors start fires like that one skyscraper that melted people's cars in NYC?
That was my thought too.
good point :D
I strongly agree with you mate.
Investment is the key to sustaining our financial longevity, and not just any investment but an investment
with guaranteed return.
To earn more you are required to have a multiple diversified stream of income, which is why investment is an avenue of making more money once it's profitable.
Crypto currency is one strong means people are raising their financialstatus now, so when you think investment I recommend you make it an option
It's professionally recommended to trade your coins with experience brokers, who can help grow your coins while assisting you learning the trade
into the financial mainstream.
Crypto currency gradually being entrenched
It's not that a professional don't lose trades they lose but when they gain they gain all they have lost and make more profits on top just like my account manager Mrs Stacy griffin kartner her strategies are profitable and her company is 100% trustworthy
