The Line: A City Built on Dreams and Maybe Sand

In the vast desert of northwestern Saudi Arabia, a vision unlike any other is taking shape - or at least, it was. Neom, a proposed $500 billion futuristic megacity, promised to redefine urban living. Imagine a 170-kilometer-long, mirror-walled city slicing through the desert, pulsating with life and cutting-edge technology. Flying cars, robotic dinosaurs, an artificial moon - Neom had it all, at least on paper.

Everyone with a brain knows this project will never be finished😂

[@monumentaltravel3745]

I hope they succeed. It looks so cool. Sure it won't be as envisioned, but it can still be spectacular. Eventually.

[@goufr3540]

Other than the island resort, I see nothing ever being done before 2030 if not by 2040.

If I'm ridiculously rich and can live pretty much anywhere in the world, I'd of course pick a fake world in the middle of the desert, who wouldn't?

Mega ambitions, Mega egos, Mega fails! When you build castles in the sand, this happens. The long line is now a dash.

The speck.

Where in the world can you build a modern city that is 1 Km long, 200m wide, and 500m tall for less than $10 billion? It will cost at least £ 100 billion for every Km.

[@krizztykrab2297]

Their budget is $500 Billion and yes this will include flying cars, hyperloop, AI helper robots, glowing sand and what not.

[@constantinnow]

@@krizztykrab2297@krizztykrab2297 yes, I know; 170KM for 500 billion is impossible.

@@goufr3540 the line is so cool you're a hater it is so futuristic it puts developments in fusion energy and antimatter to shame, animatronic dinosaurs and glowing sand are way more futuristic than anything we could have produced currently, such visionary scientists of Saudi Arabia have envisioned the line and you're a hater for doubting such scientists.

When ego gets the better of reality all your thoughts end up as a narrow thin line. I think we are decades behind this type of civilization. People are going to think more than twice before investing in a prince's dream.

[@paulgifis1908]

Maybe some locals might upload videos of the construction site so we can determine how much money has gone in.😗😗😗😗

[@monumentaltravel3745]

There are many videos of the progress so far.

I recently saw some footage from Switzerland and it was the most beautiful place I’ve seen, completely blown away by the natural landscape. Complete opposite to this sand and stone barren hellhole

[@kimmichael1399]

I hope so. What a waste of resources

[@g3user1usa]

I would have been impressed if the Neom Line was only one-mile long at the height they had claimed. I hope the shortened version is completed in the next five years. I wish they would decrease the height by 50% in order to save money. All the early hype... and now almost nothing. I'm really disappointed. As wealthy as the Saudis are, I figured they would at least get 10% completed. Although after I saw all the recent flooding happening in Saudi Arabia, it seems that all that money isn't being used properly. No water drainage infrastructure isn't very smart.

[@monumentaltravel3745]

That's what I hope too. We need places to visit. The world suffers from over tourism because there are a limited number of fabulous places to see.

[@lothean2099]

I really was hoping it would be built.

[@qhuizatlantis8484]

End of the line

[@davidhunternyc1]

I hope it's cancelled. The Line is a science fiction nightmare right out of a Bong Joon Ho movie, waiting for dissidents to get hung up on the wall, burnt by the sun, eyes plucked out by vultures.

This is an absolutely artificial project. I think It's doomed to fail.

[@AlistairKiwi]

It seems so much more sensible to build it in small sections & to test them out before building the next section. But, building the whole thing at once seems reckless. Where does water come from, and why is a line the best shape? If any country should use solar panels it would have to be Saudi. And, they are. But, building a straight line across the country could make buildings hard to maintain. Why not connected circles?

[@hairolomar715]

This city will never stand on Earth..day dreaming

[@cmwHisArtist]

For years I had awful nightmares of being trapped in a building with long white hallways and panicking because I couldn’t get outside. This project brought those memories back. They even use the same date for the UN Agenda 2030 mandate for mankind. Look it up. When people want to get away, relax and get healthy, they think outside, nature, fresh air. They didn’t get many takers for the islands out in the water…..I’m not sure how they thought this would work. If they could have used all that money to subsidize citizens to work their own small farms and green the area like Israel and sell produce all over the world,….now that’s a humane idea.

There are only a few highspeed trainlines... which means not everyone will be able to use these on a daily basis. So.. who is going to use these? Your prison guards and riot police.

[@stardustcatcher5641]

I am questioning, is it possible to make strong foundation on top of sand with reasonable price. People in this day need economic price housing not revolution.

If you can get ten people who can afford it and want to move in, then go for it.
