I built The Line in Cities Skylines, this is a city that is supposedly being built in real life in Saudi Arabia. How does it fare in Cities Skylines? Is NEOM The Line a product of engineering or architecture?
According to Neom, The Line is:
What if we could start again? THE LINE rethinks everything we know about how people live, work and play. A 170 km-long vertical city, designed around people, rather than cars. A revolution in urban living. A city that delivers new wonders for the world.

The single line design has a major flaw: if there is a failure anywhere along the line, the entire city is split in half. Also the reason why cities aren't a straight line is geometry- with a traditional city, you are closer to everything but with a line, everything's much further apart.

The city's concept and design looks so dystopian. Levels with people living up above near the sun, trees, and possibly where the water and food will go through first (which will definitely not encourage some greed) and people squabbling in the tight, dark, cramped, and industrialized lower levels wondering why there's less water than yesterday. It's in a desert too so water will be a very tough issue, possibly being rationed out (probably in the most profitable way possible aka the richest gets the mostest).

I like to play with some line-based design in my CS cities. It works really well on a small scale where people can actually live within 5 minutes of everything, but once the city starts getting big enough (or before!), you have to consider what it's going to take for the guy who lives on one end and picked up a job all the way on the other end. I want to make a couple of videos myself; one would discuss a vanilla waste treatment plant (I think I actually found an unexpected bug in this research) and another would address some commercial-industrial-residential ratios I worked out.

I just saw that they want hot air and cool air to come in through the top slit. Of course this could work but it is sure gonna create turbolenzes that cool the hot air and heat up the fresh cold air, it's also meaking the fresh air not so fresh air. The further down you live the less actual fresh air you'll get if you don't actively force air to go a certain way. even in PC building you can prove that having just one opening for both hot and cold air exchange is a terrible idea for pc performance and seeing as humans don't operate well under hot co2 rich and oxigen poor air makes me think that this mega project will end as a dystopian hell where all the poor hard workers will live in the bottom parts and the rich elite will have their apartments near the top

I bet it’ll only get somewhere between 10k and 100k people, because the rich won’t want to live there, and the poor probably won’t be able to afford it.

@justanotheryoutubechannel Год назад

I think the line is horrible terrible idea but the trains were somewhat believable, it was gonna be 2 tunnels, one for a high speed maglev bullet train which would zoom down the tunnels in 20 minutes with just a couple of stops down the length, then in the second tunnel it would be like the London Underground with stops less often. But I do still think it’s a terrible idea, 20 minutes is just too tight of a target and it would be horrifically inefficient.

I really thought this thing had been quietly dropped years ago until recently. It used to be touted years ago then they went silent.

But a line is not the best design better off something like that one from japan or the floating city concept “though current tech would have issues with both particularly in lifespan”.

@Red-Tower Год назад

Honestly if you're making a line you might as well make it into a loop instead. Just seems more practical for logistics, transport, and usage of space. Inside the loop can be utilities, green space, etc. Not much better, but it's something.

@Alex_Fahey Год назад

You remember correctly, but it was less stupid before. The previous version was essentially a city planning idea with industries, housing, services and more segregated to individual parallel streets which you could continue building indefinitely into the distance to accommodate population growth (e.g. all housing is on 5th through 10th street, restaurants and grocery stores on 4th, medical services on 3rd, et cetera). Essentially making it so everyone is a short distance from a given type of business regardless of where they might live and you have a city built as a small line continuing into the distance.

@mittfh Год назад

Far better to build a circular design - and given Saudi is an authoritarian State, have the authorities located at the centre, so they can easily check out everyone. Think of a giant panopticon...

@demoniack81 Год назад

Making an archology is an excellent idea as long as you do it PROPERLY. This is about as far away from proper as you can get. Nuclear power (as many reactors as it takes) which can power indoor farming (especially vegetables, but also fish and livestock). The heat from the reactors can be used to trigenerate electricity, heat of all kinds (including keeping the farms at the perfect temperature and industrial process heat), AND refrigeration. Then you put in all the industry, commercial and residential needed, trying to keep it as dense as possible while also providing for lots of parks and recreation. The perfect design would basically be a cube (though for efficiency, above ground we can't really build taller than 100-200m because otherwise your building becomes more structure than habitable space). The industry would probably be relegated to the lower levels (close to the nuclear reactors and below the farms) and any fumes can get treated before being vented away outside of the complex. None of this is science fiction, it's all doable with current technology. The only real problem is that we still haven't really figured out a way to efficiently transport people along the Z axis, elevators are TERRIBLE at moving large amounts of people.

@mittfh Год назад

@@demoniack81 For the Z axis, perhaps have a hybrid between a conventional lift design and a paternoster lift, so you have separate 'up' and 'down' lifts that stop at floors (rather than being continually moving) - plus, with a lift cubicle at each floor, while it may be slower than conventional lifts, you wouldn't have to wait around. For tall buildings, maybe combine a 'slow' lift that stops at every floor with a 'fast' lift that only stops every x floors; so if you wanted to go to floor 47, take the fast 'up' lift to 50, then the slow 'down' lift to 47.
