BAKU - Saudi Arabia announced plans to construct a new megacity in the northwestern corner of the country by the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba. The ambitious project will cost about 500 billion USD and seeks to link to neighbouring Egypt and Jordan. Besides its economic feasibility, the proximity of the project could lead to Saudi Arabia’s recognition of Israel. Suffice to say, a project of this magnitude is not without its geo-economic challenges.

This idea is not all that far fetched. China did that with the city of Shenzhen. At a time when the whole of China was very much like North Korea now, the then new leader Deng Xiaoping ordered the creation of a city at the site of Shenzhen, a tiny fishing village, opposite Hong Kong. Enormous investments, loosening of laws and government control, openness to foreign business and influence. permitting opportunists to get "filth rich", and the resulting money corruption, proposition, gambling, you name it. All the things that the totalitarian regime like North Korea of today couldn't possibly tolerate. The result is a mega city in 30 years, an economic power house of the East. Today's city of Shenzhen has a GDP equal to that of the whole of Greece (without the debt.) Of course, the city was not created so much for economic reasons than for political reasons. Hong Kong was due to revert back to Chinese control from the British in 1997. So the Chinese government wanted to demonstrate to the people of Hong Kong, long ahead of the takeover, that it is a government that is capable of tolerating a city as decadent as Hong Kong and that the "one country, two systems" policy can work. As it then happened, Shenzhen became much more decadent than Hong Kong ever was.

[@MrAnonymousRandom]

Comments The problem with this project is what does it offer that your average other places do not? China at the time of Deng offered tax incentives, laxer regulations, and cheap labour. Saudi Arabia's oil wealth has created a country of people who rely on hand outs rather than working for a living.

[@disco1974ever]

"Opposite Hong Kong" being the key point. Also your point about China at the time being impoverished peasent rural economy. What that meant is that Shenzen had the expertise and knowledge base (from HK) and a dirt cheap labour force to work 90hrs a week for $50. YOU have neither of that in KSA. The KSA pop are poorly educated (half-girls are uneducated and can't work) and lazy thanks to gov subsidies and handouts.KSA's populatio will revolt if they are told to give up their i-phones and instead make i-phones. You need to learn about what KSA is.... a ugly oil dictatorship that keeps it's pop' subserviant with huge social welfare handouts, draconian religion and state control of EVERYTHING and THE most brutal legal system in the world, complete with beheadings for stealing a loaf of bread.

On a governmental side of things, nearly everything we need from a governmental institution can be done completely digitally, and very quickly might I add. Things that took weeks, months or even years to issue can now be issued within minutes from a unified government app. Which makes everything really easy. And Dubai is way too expensive to live in as far as I know, even the most expensive city in Saudi Arabia is cheaper than Dubai.

Who decided that this project is going to cost $500 billions? Based on which data? How many people are going to live and work there? How many houses, apartments, schools, hospitals, universities, shopping centers, bakeries, stores, shops, offices, streets, airports, etc, etc are going to be needed? How much water and electricity is needed? How much sewers will be produced and what should be done with it? Who is going to build it? Where does the workforce come from and how many are needed? Where are they going to be housed? You cannot estimate the cost of a project without a detailed plan. You cannot even cook a dinner for a party if you don't know how many people will be attending the party.

The Neom project is located in the biblical area of Midian or Madyan in the Quran. It is where the holy mountain of God or mount Sinai in the bible and mount Tur in the Quran. It is the place where prophet Moses receives the Torah and where prophet Muhammad prayed twice in his Isra or night journey before reaching Jerusalem, once on the mountain and once in the sacred valley of Tuwa where it was narrated both in the bible and in the Quran where God met Moses and commanded him to take off his sandals. The modern day name of the mountain is jabal al Lawz or mountain of almonds which grows on the mountain. It is obviously important to the Jews, Christians and Muslims. That’s why the interest in this project. Trump being a businessman sees the commercial value of this area. The development potential is huge. Israel wants access to this area as it is where the Torah was received and Arabia is indeed the land that the Israelites wandered for 40 years before reaching Jerusalem. And Saudi is handing it over to them on a silver platter. Muslims are totally oblivious of this nefarious intentions and are in perpetual fight. It is indeed end of times and the prophet had said in his Hadith that mount Tur will be the place where the final battle will be fought. It is not a coincidence that the name NEOM is chosen for this project as it will I believe precipitate the events of the end of times. NEOM can be reorganised to OMEN, indeed an omen to the dark days to come. May Allah protect us all.

You want a special topic? Make a comparison between the future Jeddah and developed Dubai and the advantages of both, especially after the new Jeddah projects such as the Downtown Jeddah project, the slum development project and the Jeddah Tower project after the Public Investment Fund acquired a large percentage of them. Jeddah and Dubai are the two most important economic cities in the Arabian Peninsula The idea revolves around a comparison between comparative advantages and aspects of competition between them, such as: 1. Airport 2. Sea port 3. City landmarks 4. Entertainment venues 5. Archaeological and heritage sites 6. Markets and malls 7. The comparative advantage of each city. 8. Museums 9.Infrastructure such as metro trains, pedestrian roads, etc. Does Jeddah have advantages that Dubai does not have that can be strengthened to compete with Dubai in tourism Economy? In my opinion, Jeddah's strong advantage now is two 1. It is the gateway to the Grand Mosque for those coming for Hajj and Umrah

[@unogal5906]

@@nab.7250 It will increase job opportunities for Saudis. But not many Saudis can qualify for the jobs. Besides, MNCs won't just be accepting any degree holder from some random University. It will just be a Dubai 2.0 whereby the country attracts another huge bunch of expatriates.

[@one9412]

Unogal: actually this is not TRUE at all, our universities in KSA are the best universities in Middle East according to new study 2018, your information dude are not quite right, I wanna till you more about KSA Development but I’m not quite fluent in English. Google it and you will see.

[@unogal5906]

@@one9412 The top universities in KSA are not even ranked above 400 in global ranking. While the Saudis can be more domineering in that region when it comes to education standards, this would only boost their sovereignty in terms of SMEs, small and medium enterprises, which means that they can only gain market competitiveness through local MNCs (as they would be more likely to accept workers based on relative competitiveness within the country). However, for any country to expand, the role of global MNCs is crucial, if the universities cannot even rank to be the top 300 universities in the world, the degree which the university issues, is pretty much, irrelevant. The global MNCs would thus be less likely to accept these degree holders due to the potential credential inflation. Thus, they would be more likely to be welcoming expatriates with better qualifications from other universities.

[@richdobbs6595]

Might be an attempt to create an effectively independent state salvaging some of the oil wealth, while shedding the bulk of the Saudi population. But it seems likely to fail due to corruption, or having not been started soon enough.
