Is this the future of urban living?
The Line is a proposed smart linear city in Saudi Arabia in Neom, Tabuk, currently under construction, that will have no cars, streets or carbon emissions. The 170-kilometer (110 miles) long city is part of Saudi Vision 2030 project, which Saudi Arabia claims will create 380,000 jobs and add $48 billion to the country’s GDP. The Line will be the first development in Neom, a planned $500 billion city. The city’s plans anticipate a population of 9 million.
NEOM will be built around sustainability and powered by renewable energy.
“It’s going to be zero carbon emission, it will have no cars actually. It will be about 170 kilometers, basically a line, and it’s going to be 30 percent more efficient, and when I say efficient I’m talking about the cost efficiency,” Al-Rumayyan
