The line’s designs are characterized by unique elements that make them a global model for what the cities of the future should be, as they are human-centered, in harmony with nature, and 200 meters wide, 170 kilometers long, and 500 meters above sea level. The city will be built on an area not exceeding 34 square kilometers. This small area compared to other cities will contribute to preserving 95% of NEOM’s land for nature, and will accommodate about 9 million people, which is completely unprecedented in cities of this size.
It is worth noting that the designs of The Line are a reflection of what urban communities will be like in the future in an environment free from streets, cars, and emissions, and relies on 100% renewable energy, making human health and well-being an absolute priority, rather than the priority of transportation and infrastructure, as in cities. traditional.
This development looks like the way to go in future towns and cities !
