The Line, the linear city of 170 kilometers, without cars and with a single street that is being built in Saudi Arabia

On By Garmin Philip

Saudi Arabia continues to amaze with its futuristic buildings. When there is money left over, imagination is the ultimate limit.

Saudi Arabia has several projects underway that it intends to complete by 2030. One of them is The Line, a futuristic linear city built by NEOM, the company chaired by Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

The heir to the crown of the country explains to us perfectly what is TheLine: “I present to you The Line, a city of one million inhabitants with a length of 170 km that preserves 95% of nature within NEOM, with zero cars, zero streets and zero carbon emissions“.

The Line has already begun construction in northwestern Saudi Arabia. In this video you can see the presentation of the project:

NEOM argues, quite rightly, that the design of today’s cities is highly polluting, favors traffic jams, and literally kill its citizens through pollution and traffic accidents.

The Line will be a completely green city of one million inhabitants, supplied by wind and solar energy, very abundant in Saudi Arabia, and built over a single line that is 170 kilometers long.

Actually the inhabitants are distributed in communities of a few dozen homes and businesses around a plaza. All squares are connected to each other.

This guide that we have prepared with features, comparisons and best options by price range will help you choose the best SSD (both internal and external) for your device.

Citizens will only need 5 minute walk toTo cover all the needs, within your community: shopping, food, leisure, etc.

If they want to travel to another community within the city, they must take autonomous, electric and underground transportation that circulates in tubes under the city. The maximum journey will be 20 minutes, from end to end of the city.

Here we can see the three layers that make up The Line:

The passers-by layer, the service layer, dedicated to the transport of goods and supplies, and the so-called Espina, where autonomous transport is located to move throughout the city, through tubes, similar to the famous Elon Hyperloop Musk.

As we have mentioned, the project is in its initial phases, and there is still a long way to go to confirm that it is really being built.

But it is certainly an interesting idea worth exploring.
