Is Saudi Arabia building such huge buildings for fear of running out of oil?
tallest building plan
These skyscrapers will include residential homes running across the desert from the Red Sea coast, as well as retail and office space. Current and former employees of NEOM have reported that the designers were instructed to work on a half-mile-long prototype. If it moves in its entirety, the structure will be even bigger than the current tallest buildings in the world.
will cost up to $ 500 billion
Announced in 2017, NEOM is Prince Mohammed’s plan to transform a remote region of Saudi Arabia into a hi-tech semi-autonomous state that envisions top class urban living. It is part of their plans to attract foreign investment and help the Saudi economy move away from its dependence on oil sales. It could cost up to $500 billion to build.
The project will be spread over 170 km
The area of this new city, spread over 170 km, will be named ‘The Line’. The most important thing about ‘The Line’ city is that the use of private cars will be banned here. Only public vehicles will be used in this unique city. About 10 lakh people will live in this new city, while by the year 2030, 3 lakh 80 thousand jobs will also be created in this particular city.
negligible carbon emissions
According to the information, carbon emissions in this city will be negligible in the coming time. The city of ‘The Line’ will be built in such a way that it will not take more than 20 minutes to reach any important place. Artificial intelligence will play an important role in making this city. Another unique thing related to this is that the judicial system of Saudi Arabia will not work here, but those investing in this project will be able to prepare a separate law for it.
