- NEOM's linear megacity, THE LINE, conceived as a 170-kilometer-long, 500-meter-high mirrored community in Saudi Arabia's Tabuk desert, aims to revolutionize urban living by condensing life into a narrow vertical corridor powered by AI and renewable energy.
- Construction activities for THE LINE show progress, with early modules and infrastructure groundwork underway, targeting the completion of a central 5-kilometer segment by 2030.
- Key design and engineering partners, including Delugan Meissl Associated Architects and Gensler, have been appointed to shape the urban design and infrastructure of the ambitious project.
- Signature features like the Hidden Marina and NEOM Stadium, expected to be iconic landmarks, showcase early construction progress and sustainability ambitions.
- THE LINE's innovative approach integrates nature and envisions a gravity-free city where all amenities are within a five-minute walk, reshaping traditional urban landscapes.
- Reports indicated a potential downsizing of the first phase of THE LINE, with adjustments in timeline and scope, but the overall project scale remains unchanged, targeting completion by 2045.
- Projected to host the 2034 FIFA World Cup and embracing sustainability principles, THE LINE exemplifies a futuristic vision of urban development aligned with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030.
- Vertical construction is set to commence in late 2025, symbolizing a critical milestone towards realizing the car-free and sustainable metropolis envisioned by THE LINE.
- THE LINE's unique industrialized and modular construction approach reflects its commitment to efficiency and innovation in reshaping urban environments.
