Also you have mistakes for ships passing through straits. Although number of ships are decreasing, weight of payload is constantly increasing. That means, companies are prefering bigger ships

"The Line" sounds like a fantastic setting for a science fiction story. It might be too insane to actually build, but a fictional version of it is certainly possible to pull off.. Meanwhile, the Dubai Creek Tower looks like the headquarter of an intergalactic government administration
I refer again to "the line": have you thought about maintenance costs or operating or everyday costs? Cars are no longer necessary in the line. No elevators are necessary or costly facade cleaning. there is no time delay when you are stuck in a traffic jam, because there is no traffic jam. so i think it's crazy to want to build even higher to present your status. In my opinion, it is not crazy, but brave to have an idea that is not just about showing off, but an attempt to find a smart solution to problems of current events and the future. namasté नमस्ते

@@christopheraaron8299 cities are built as circles Why circles? Because it has the highest area with the lowest perimeter, meaning that the average distance from any single point to another is the shortest The train line serving the city could be much shorter if the city was *not a line*, like for example Tokyo
New York City, which is mostly linear, you can walk from most subway stations to your East/West destination. If it were more constrained it would be completely walkable. But now that I think about it, The Line would not remain linear for very long and construction would spread out in prime locations.
I once saw a Sim City Let's Play where someone made an entire city using just one road, it did not end well. Turns out making your city completely dependent on one method of transportation with very little to no redundancy is a very bad idea. One disaster could completely cut off the supply chain and severely cripple the city's ability to recover. Looks like the inspiration for "The Line" came from that, and I expect the end results to be the same.
and i ask all game developers to create a game to handle the whole world: -> Spatially based on the flight simulator, with the implementation of a completely networked system that allows business, trading, etc., although you can set your own rules such as: unconditional basic income, or basic care through minimal work to which every citizen is committed (all unemployed (no matter which status you belong to) could do a lot of useful things).... etc. etc. also a dictator mode where the dictator can decide for the good of all people (e.g. true equality of all people) etc. etc. The simulation should be shaped by the users (with "mods" or whatever you want to call it, which should be able to be created in a very simple programming environment), you should be able to register as an individual in every changed world. all other individuals (who would not be "played" by a full-fledged human) would have statistical process values in the background. Since probably 97% of people would play along, the 3% (de.wikipedia.org/wiki/3%25) could also be interested in what would come out of it without destroying the current state of the art.
To validate a concept like The Line, you don't need to build an entire city. If people hardly need to move around, or if transportation in exactly one (bi)direction is (for all intents and purposes) free, would a city naturally grow along that one direction?
wouldn't it be more clever to do "the circle" instead of "the line"? it could occupy fewer inhabitated areas and allow shorter travels even with "slower" trains
There's a reason why cities are shaped similar to a circle, because a circle makes it equidistant from anywhere about a point, where businesses, goods and services can be accessible to many. "The Line" probably will not work because it is counterintuitive to this very reason
I could see the Line working as a multiple city center city. Essentially you have the centers based around the train stations along the line and suburbs created around it.
Yes. It's called Ribbon Development and happened a lot in Britain in the 1930s. Town planners after WW2 disliked it and the idea was not really used after 1947.

@Joxar The broken window is a metaphor imagined by the French economist Frédéric Bastia to explain some of the most common fallacies in economics. Imagine that a window has been broken. You can pretend that it is good for the economy, since it gives some income to the guy who repairs it. That guy will spend his money to buy food from a merchant who will spend his money to buy something else. The broken window has started a long chain of economic activities and spending. But that reasoning is obviously false, since the owner of the window would probably have spent his money on something else, if given the choice, maybe a book. And the librarian would have spent his money on something else etc. The chain of activities that starts with the broken window is obtained at the expenses of another chain. The only way to distinguish the two chains with any certainty is to look at their beginning. The broken window chain starts with a net loss. There is no way any convoluted reasoning can erase that fact. Bastia noticed that a lot of our economic reflections are expressed to present an indisputable waste as if it was "good for the economy". He gives many examples: buying artworks nobody cares about, building roads where nobody is traveling, posting soldiers in garrison just to support the local economy etc. All those things, artwork, roads, garrisons, should be considered for their own merits and not for hypothetical economic fallouts. Of course, it is even worse if you pay people for nothing. You lose the useful work that they would have done otherwise.
All these costs of construction pale in the face of the costs of maintenance. This is always something that initial builders, investors and government forget: the costs of maintenance increase almost geometrically with the increase in size because of the increase in complexity.
Which is why we pay a lot in service charges. My condo in burj Khalifa has a $30k fee every year, and that's considered little when compared to bigger condos.

In order to serve all inhabitants along the line, the train needs to have stations every 2 or 3 kilometers. But, this prevents it from going full speed, because trains take a long time to accelerate, and before it even reaches its full speed it has to start slowing down as it reaches the next station. When aiming to travel at speeds of 500 km/h, you can't stop every 3 kilometers because that means you don't have enough time to accelerate to your full speed, rendering it impossible to travel the whole thing in 67 minutes. You can only have a station in the beginning and one in the end, but then it loses its purpose because it doesn't serve the people in the middle. There need to be multiple trains, each traveling at different speeds and each having more/less stations, like train systems in Italy. But this already impacts the cost; Japan's magnetic system(the only way a train can reach speeds of 500 km/h) already has a price of 65 billion USD dollars. Add more rails and the price of only the train part of the project will easily surpass 100 billion dollars.
That's THE irony, apparently unseen by the engineers and project owners, yet obvious to those who actually commute every day. If the train only has 2 stations at both ends, then it's virtually equal to connecting 2 separate circle-shaped cities. LOL.😅 As many people have pointed out, this project is 100% gimmick.
@@alexanderlobov1432 Thank-you! I noticed that nobody was talking about this problem, the biggest in my eyes; therefore I decided to write about it myself 😉
2:15 wouldn't be a Railways but rather a maglev or pressure tube. 500+ km/h is possible. But with the stops in between it would become a bit difficult.
It would have to be maglev in a vacuum tube. Otherwise, air friction would make such speeds impossible underground. And at this point, it's just not technically and financially feasable to build hundreds of kilometers of near-perfect vaccuum tube with multiple "pressured" stops in between.
"Don't worry guys, we'll just get all these new unproven technologies working flawlessly to build this, nothing can go wrong" The railway alone would be an absurd megaproject, and on top of that they want to bury it? Sure thing.
The canal reminds me of an 1800s Victorian-era canal project near me that would be possible today if it made sense, but turned out to be impossible at the time and half of the plans were abandoned. The Chesapeake & Ohio Canal was intended to connect the Chesapeake Bay near Washington, D.C. to the Ohio River in Pittsburgh, making a viable water transportation route from the Atlantic coast to the Ohio. However, it ended up starting in downtown Washington D.C. instead and only made it as far as Cumberland, Maryland. This is because scaling the Allegheny Plateau up to Pittsburgh would have required an 8-mile-long tunnel. The half-mile-long Paw Paw Tunnel had already nearly bankrupted the canal company. And what's worse, rail travel was beginning to take over as the dominant transportation means in the United States and the unfinished canal was already becoming obsolete. Though for most of the next century, the section of canal that was built was used to take logs and coal from Appalachia down to the D.C. area, so it ended up not being entirely useless.
I think that of Saudi Arabia could still proceed,the 500m dollar project is not a one time deal..it could be by phases, so under several administrations.
The point is the Saudi Corrupt Monarchy is running out of time since they have millions of young people already unemployed since the days of early 2000s when KSA was booming and oil industry was bathing in $110 and still they weren't able to control their national unemployment rate and when there was no concept of any kind of TAX in the minds of typical Saudi People because GOVT used to give out hefty subsidies on every single facility including Electricity, Food, & Petrol. They have already shown glossy blooming pictures of 2030 as being the Game Changer for the most unemployed jobless Young Saudis and the time is short and the COVID 19 PLANDEMIC has already fucked up the entire world's economy. So, you have to review your thoughts about NEOM and its success especially when it's right under the total grip of a one-man who is as brutal as Hitler and ready to Chop Chop anyone who comes in his way. Forgot the Saudi Journalist Jamal Khashoggi?
"Most perople in Turkey and around the world are against the construction of the Istanbul Canal" Most people around the world have never even heard of the project let alone forming an opinion on it :D
Nah, it can't by concept. Cities expand circularly (grow in all directions) because that's the best way to increase value while reducing the distance from any point to any other point (and especially to the center). The line concept is a fun idea, but you throw away immense amounts of value for it which makes it not worth it. Also kinda why other cities aren't built in a line already.
It biggest problem is the financing it's investors will not invest, due to planning consultants. The concept of building a place along a central route (on a smaller scale and with at least more than one line) was bascially completed in Brasilia, it was an utter failure of urban living, it caused disconnection and made travel exceptionally tedious.
The canal Istanbul project is not a perpetrator, it is necessary because the Bosphorus can no longer handle ship traffic and large ships are a danger to the Bosphorus. Also, with the Lausanne treaty disaster, the dominance of the straits was taken from the Turks, it is an extremely necessary project for an independent Turkey.
Hi, can you make a video about canals? Previously planned or controversial canals would be amazing, such as the one that would separate Thailand into two to skip the trip around Singapore and Malaysia.
You would think with the amount of money in the UAE that they would build some amazing cities.. Nope, their cities are horrendous and yet they spend billions on projects like these.. lol
I'm from Turkey and we don't want second Canal Istanbul. Turkey's economy is not good but Erdogan still want to finish the second Canal. And yea its impossible to finish it.
Construction of the Line might be possible, but it is a wildly impractical way to make a city. No alternative transport routes? And designed in a way that still necessitates travelling between suburbs? Yeah I'll pass

5:20 That the cables have to be over a kilometer long is not a problem. In Japan there's the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, with a 2km long suspended span segment in the middle.
@@romiarkan450 And because the cables are horizontal, they have handle way more stress than if they were vertical. Here's a simple experiment you can do yourself: Take a weight of some sort and connect a 2 strings to it. Now hold the weight up on the with 1 hand and one string. Then hold one string in each hand and try to hold the weight up by pushing your hands away from each other (to the left and right instead of up) and tell me what was harder. The cables in this tower don't hold up their tower, they only support it from swaying. The cables in suspension bridges hold up the entire weight of the bridge besides the towers/anchor points..
On the Dubai Creek Tower, I see one basic flaw in the design: The cables. To make sure they hold up to the stresses of stabilizing a twig thin tower (by comparison), the tower would have to sustain both massive weight pulling it on all sides, as well as its own weight. One stiff breeze would cause it to fall. Instead of using internal steel frames, with the cables you are effectively tripling or quadrupling the weight of the tower, as you would, rather than using traditional means and just building it up from there. Also, it's a horrible waste of space.
@@brianoconnell6459 reminds of a certain cold war era telescope that recently collapsed. When the first cable snapped, that brief moment where the weight transferred to the backup cables caused enough strain to take down the whole structure.
@@deadturret4049 I assume you are talking about the Arecibo Telescope, and to be fair, funding had been massively cut over the decades and was no longer being used. There were talks about completely decommissioning it prior to the collapse.
The Istanbul canal is feasible, but may takes years to complete. And then Turkey can force ships to pass through that canal by closing the existing Bosphorus one.
They cannot close the Bosphorus to foreign ships due to a treaty signed in 1936. However, Canal Istanbul, if it's ever built, will be like a "Toll Road" for commercial ships. Instead of waiting to pass the Bosphorus, they will be able to pay 10s of thousands of dollars and pass through the Canal Istanbul to save time.

Many "experts" also said that the new turkish airport (the biggest or second biggest on earth) would fail or wouldn't be finished in just 4 years but turkey did it. There are more projects around the world that are as hard to finish but not impossible. Just wait and we'll see what every country can do and will do in the next years.
The airport is a massive failure just like the 3rd bridge they constructed, they both destroyed the enviroment, costed billions, and make us still lose billions bc both projects dont meet their promised uses so the goverment has to make the difference, both are one of the biggest failures of the 21st century, they were just corrupy money laundering operations with the added bonus of being flashy to get new votes.
No they didn't. Stop making shit up.

One of the big issues with the Istanbul canal project is that it would require multiple crossings. Road, highway, rail. Otherwise if there are just 1 or 2 main crossings it would create absolutely horrific congestion, especially if long distance trucking is mixed with local commuting. And these bridges wouldn't be cheap. They would need to be built high enough over the seaway so that large ships can pass below them.
1. According to the project, approximately 5 bridges will be built and the bridges will be free of charge. 2. They plan to carry commercial shipments to the European continent with the Çanakkale Bridge.
i mean saudi arbia dont have to raise 500 bilion dollars, im sure they have trilions of dollars in reserve they can use. we are talking about the oil king of the world. and yes they have 870 bilion in gdp, but in purchasing power they got 1.87 trilion.
The canal in Turkey makes sense since the Bosporus is one of the heavily traffic sea routes in the world, aside from the canal project giving Turkey additional income.
@@CelVini well Turkey can regulate that to their advantage. Aside from that, the US and other superpowers. can utilize also this alternate route for their armed ships.
