In January of this year, Saudi Arabia announced an immense new development project, that is supposed to set a blueprint for the future of the country and the world. The country will build a city, that stretches along a single 100 mile long line

SCIENTIST: We need to restructure and diversify the economy

1. The high-speed train cannot be very fast if there are many stations.

"Where you live?"

Tourist: Where is (a place)

They've apparently updated this project. The line will now have large glass walls on the sides, and the city will now be compacted vertically between the walls. So basically if you leave your home to go to a store, you might have to travel up or down elevators or stairs.

In October 2022, Shadli, Ibrahim, and Ataullah al-Huwaiti, of the Howeitat tribe, were sentenced to death when they refused to vacate their village as part of the NEOM megaproject.

"Where's the Mall?"

When you need to connect sections in City Skylines but don’t want to buy electrical lines

It was a brave and bold move by MBS to put children in charge of Saudi economic development plans. Sure the plan is foolish and doomed to failure. But it has created an endless supply of entertaining KZbin videos. Thank you Prince MBS!

This takes “don’t try to reinvent the wheel” to a whole new level.

Saudi Arabia: we're building a linear city.

As a sim city expert I can guarantee there will be a traffic and fire problem.

Great video. I have watched a bunch of the official Neom videos and none that I have seen give a complete overview of the project like this video. Liked the music too. Great graphics, really help put the project in perspective.

[@MurderedBySunshine]

Awesome video, just a bit of a tip, when you start your video try not to start with “At the start of this year” because as we all know time goes on and we lose track of it. Try to say the date. Hopefully I don’t get backlash for this. But I love the videos and keep up the good work

This guy has the most underrated intro in the world

[@MysteriMaan]

As a Cities Skyline enjoyer, a single major road line, no matter how large it is, is a horrible idea.

[@RicardoRodriguez-nz6sf]

Wow!!! One of the best-edited videos I have ever seen. I love how you use the terrain transitions with the 3D maps. What programs do you use to make the effects at minute
