Saudi Crown Prince Announces Designs for NEOM’s THE LINE

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Chairman of the NEOM Board of Directors, announced on Monday the designs of NEOM’s THE LINE, a civilizational revolution that puts humans first, providing an unprecedented urban living experience while preserving the surrounding nature.

In January 2021, he launched the initial idea and vision of the city that redefines the concept of urban development and what cities of the future should look like.

The designs of THE LINE embody how urban communities will be in the future in an environment free from roads, cars and emissions. It will run on 100% renewable energy and prioritize people's health and well-being over transportation and infrastructure as in traditional cities. It puts nature ahead of development and will contribute to preserving 95% of NEOM’s land.

The announcement reveals the most important characteristics of THE LINE, which is only 200 meters wide, 170 kilometers long and 500 meters above sea level.

THE LINE will eventually accommodate 9 million residents and will be built on a footprint of 34 square kilometers, which is unheard of when compared to other cities of similar capacity. This in turn will reduce the infrastructure footprint and create never-before-seen efficiencies in city functions.

Its ideal climate all year round
