The Line – Saudi Arabia’s Futuristic Megacity
Perhaps the most ambitious part of NEOM is The Line, a futuristic city that stretches 170 kilometers.
This city will take advantage of vertical construction, reaching 500M above sea-level, while being only 200 meters wide. Covered with mirrored facades, The Line will literally reflect the natural beauty around it, without disrupting the landscape.
With a strategy that utilizes exclusively renewable energy, The Line represents a new step in sustainable, modern living.
The Line and its Human-Centric Design
The Line’s vertical design is groundbreaking architecture, not only due to how it looks, but how it is built around the human experience. Since The Line is only 200 meters wide, all residences have easy access to all day-to-day amenities, such as shops, schools, restaurants, and green spaces.
Other specialty activities, such as sports stadiums, museums, and other cultural attractions, are available via high speed trains. The zero-car environment, with 100% sustainable transport system, and total use of renewable energy minimizes pollution and maximizes walkable living. With minimal to no commute, residents of The Line can expect to enjoy more leisure time.
Plus, the climate will be monitored, through use of cutting-edge technology and natural ventilation, so it is always moderate and comfortable. These are just a few ways that The Line is putting residents’ well-being at the center of its construction so that it is an amazing place to work and live.
Integrated Sustainability
The vertical construction, with living spaces layered on top of one another, ensures that 95% of the land is conserved. This means the city only occupies 5% of the available land, so there is always natural space at your fingertips.
Since there will be no cars, traditional roads, or carbon emissions, the nearly 9 million people of The Line can breathe easily.
With plenty of integrated parks, walking areas, and green spaces, this futuristic will integrate natural life and sustainability into the design of everything, so residents and visitors can live to the fullest.
Connectivity at Your Fingertips
As discussed, The Line offers ground-breaking walkable living environments, complemented by high-speed public transportation to everything else you could need. Since communities are designed for walking and the city emphasizes community spaces, The Line will foster connections between people like no city before it.
With residents and visitors out and about, not wasting time on commuting to and from work, there will be more time for community activities and connection.
This connectivity reaches beyond The Line as well, with many transportation options connecting The Line to other destinations within NEOM.
The Line – The New Face of Modern Living
The Line will modernize cities, marrying sustainable living and modern convenience within the realm of NEOM. With a focus on building the city around the residents, so that residents experience the best mix of technology, work-life balance, and sustainability.
Despite its grandiose proposition, The Line will have a footprint that is only 2% the size of conventional cities.
If you’ve ever dreamed of the perfect city, you can stop dreaming: the dream is real with The Line.
