Get ready to step into the future with the groundbreaking announcement of THE LINE NEOM, a city like no other in Saudi Arabia. Unveiled by His Highness Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud on Monday, July 25, this is not your typical urban development.
THE LINE NEOM is set to redefine city living, operating entirely on renewable energy to prioritize residents’ well-being and health, while also preserving 95 percent of NEOM’s land. This visionary project reimagines urban communities by eliminating roads and cars, embracing a vertical design that intertwines urban life with nature.
But what is “the line”? Stretching 170 kilometers in length, 200 meters in width, and positioned 500 meters above sea level, THE LINE NEOM is a marvel of modern engineering. It aims to accommodate 9 million residents across a footprint of 34 square kilometers, revolutionizing urban density and capacity.
Among the innovative features of THE LINE NEOM is a high-speed rail system with 20-minute end-to-end transits, ensuring efficient connectivity. Residents will enjoy easy access to city facilities within a mere five-minute walk. The concept of Zero Gravity Urbanism introduces three dimensions of movement – up, down, and across – reshaping the way people interact with their environment.
As the city of the future takes shape, the outer mirror façade promises unique visual aesthetics and endless photo opportunities. Stay tuned to Time Out Riyadh for thrilling updates on NEOM’s exciting journey into tomorrow.
