A big long city with deserts on both sides. Great setting for an outcast survival thriller movie.

i cant think of a worse idea for a city. good job city designers you truly made something unique

Just build a normal city that people want to live in for once.

I live in Saudi Arabia and this is just insane

it sounds unreal....

Great channel thank you so much i subscribed

Great video with nice explanation.

The news of it is trending all over the media. And I am personally interested in, not only visiting it when it is finished, but also in following its progress as it is being built. It is rare to witness something major as that happening under our eyes.

my problem is with the line, what would happen during heavy winds ? it has a large vertical surface area, if the wind moves perpendicular to the surface, along the line, I feel like the wind can break the line.

Thank you video brilliant compliment.

Great video! Next year you'll have 500K subs :)

Lovely 💖

Gives me very dystopian vibes.

Respect your effort bro U r doing a great work And I want to work with you full time

Saudi 🇸🇦 ♥️love from🇮🇳

I really hope it works but from an environmentally friendly point of view, and also práctical, I think a linear spiral with a high center point would make more sense. With radial roads like half orange.

This looks amazing

Blown away 🙌

This was an amazing video! How do you only have 200 subs?? New subscriber here! Also a request… can you make videos on Pakistani mega-projects? Like the 35 billion USD "River Ravi City" or the 65 billion USD "CPEC" - nobody makes videos on Pakistani mega projects so I would really REALLY appreciate if you could Otherwise great content! Keep it up! 💫🤍🇵🇰

they smokin som good stuff

How do you have only 79 subscribers (make that 80)? This is such a good video

Very good that all me gustan todos los vídeos muchas gracias che

Great

A wonderfully Mega Ambitious Project!

you have got a new subscriber from rwanda east africa

Nice

Holy shit just watched the video and then saw it only has 13k views, and you only have ~280 subs? Thought I was watching a video from a big channel with a few hundred thousand subs, very well done

This is the best major development currently underway in the world, only by knowing its historical & present-future significance can I understand why it didn't happen before and is taking so long now... The importance of this from its underground beginnings supporting high-speed rails unto connecting Saudia to Egypt shall be even more so with its air & sea port connections, then there's all the tech being imbedded set to become so habitably interactive; Wow (glad to be here)!

I bet a trilion dollar this will never be made. Usually a city is made by Architects and City planners and not a VFX team. But credit to the VFX team, they did do a good job.

Drones noise is terrible, but they could fly outside city and flow into soundproof tunnels. Also natural light is important, can be improved with mirror tubes similar to ventilation system, without full light spectrum people will get sick.

subscribed. Bro can you plz tell me which Voice software did you use to make this video?

Crazyy

It lost me in the line! It would make a great game or metaverse space though

You can't have a smart City without a smart society.

To the person reading this. May success, peace and happiness be with you. Amen. 🥰

I Do n't Beleave It Yet So Crazy Project!

with money, anything can happen, so I can't wait for this to be a success

I like it

This is incredible. I hope it gets built and I get to see it.

this is sick af

To boost/encourage investments and consumptions is going against sustainability. For some people, sustainability is a concept where you need to consume less, travel less and give more space to nature. For the others, sustainability is a high value marketing word that will help to attract investments to boost companies or countries' growth.

We'll see

This rendering of a potential future.

there's a lot if environmental concerns in the project but I hope they find solutions. I would love to see this in real life.

I wonder how they plan on routing power. This is not your traditional system where the grid spans out. The grid is on one straight line and this city would need like 5 to 10 redundant lines to prevent any major outage to the rest of the city

Revolutionary business mindset 🎉

Being sectors the Line could be any size half, whole, 1/40 and it will still work

The concepts are pretty far out there but that's a good thing to me. Nice to see at least one nation experiment with architecture and urban planning in a way few others could or would! Especially since it hasn't had the best reputation globally and for a good reason. I just hope everything about NEOM and its "new legal system" truly is a change from what's on offer in the KSA now...

so when the sunrises ... damn they on it

They Are Planning 100billion projects Transformation for the future 💯

If they want to live in the future I can think of a few things they should do first.

I am honestly considering visiting Saudi. I believe The Line won’t be ready yet, but I will witness some of the activities and sports events there.

Aside from the utopic side, it actually helps the space problem

This will never come to fruition imo. There's a reason cities aren't designed this way, and it has too many logistical issues to even count. They can sure try, but this wreaks of one of those "problems" that Elon Musk tries to solve with something more convoluted than what already exists.

I atually hope they succeed in this project

Great video, I just subscribed!

The Line has to be a bigger joke that the artificial "world islands" that failed in Dubai. What happens when the traffic is disrupted in the middle by a fire or similar, can 9 million people not go to work? Who gets to live at the bottom of the line, 500 meter below the roof aka 500 meters below sunlight and fresh air. How is this better for the animals when you put a inpassable 100km+ barrier there. Let's not even talk about the native tribes that inhabit the area and that are forcably relocated and will be blocked off by a huge line. Who want to live in a complex that's under surveillance 24/7 by a government that is known for murdering and jailing critics? Not even considering all the other concerns, you could just build a futuristic city in a circle, actually create a traffic system that makes sense using multiple rail lines so the entire traffic isn't fucked if there's a problem in one part of the city, and not create a huge glass barrier in the desert where there's plenty of space anyway. I'm betting $10000 that the Line aka MBS' wet dream will never happen. Please save this comment and @ me in a couple years

The line city is a huge city that is out of imagination. I understand the correlation between the Mirror Line and the Egyptian Pyramids as both are innovative and unique. The fantasy city is appealing to a lot of people as it offers a lot of features.

Those who are tarnishing these projects are the same who tarnished Dubai in the beginning and now they’re a tourist destination.

Now this is future thinking. Build it and they will come...more specifically, build something people like and they will flock. You know you have something good if people will give up everything to get there. Good luck.

nothing says ecological like digging up the earth to build 105 mile long city and all the sand needed for concrete. To say nothing of the precious metals for all the technology

What happens if the rail is affected and blocks the railway tracks... something like the ship that blocked the Suez canal... transportation will be a disaster.... helipads..and flying car's...for the future to abate.. rail transport dysfunction..maybe

“Don’t build your house on the sandy land, don’t build your on the shore…… the song goes on & on

OMG... WHAT A JOkE !!! GOOD LUCk !! LOL

Wow! This gives me hope and motivation about the future of human development! I really hope this project works out!! 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

🙌

Maybe they should complete the Jedda tower first. Saudí Arabia expects foreign investments for this project when their most recent project , Jedda tower, is a flop mid way in construction? Good luck with that track record.

may this be accomplished soon

cant wait to visit this place when it gets abandoned

And its gonna be like kownloon city

Wait 33x the size of NYC but just 9M people… that’s basically the population of nyc in 33x the space

What a huge project.. !

Hahaha it's like AAA game map but this is really amazing

i’m high and this video is just great

Excelente idea

Imagine the data production...you can alter so many situations....probably the step before space living in like living conditions.

My dad lives in Saudi and this is happening for real

Wake me when they actually start building this thing.

I've actually heard that this city is going to be a faliuar because of many reasons that I will not mention.

Wouldn't the glass from the Line reflecting the sun onto the sand be a problem? Just curious

What stops the line from frying whatever is on the outside of the glass mirror wall? There have been several cases of this happening to cars in London and LA in which cars that are parked outside of buildings being melted or starting fires by the relections from the rays of the Sun beaming down. With this being 100's of miles long and over 100 stories wouldnt this kill any animal life that there is around the site and make the area extremely hot.

Here come the dystopian Cyberpunk mega-cities. These are the trials.

honestly i´m struggling a lot, trying to imagine the line as an success, but it would be kind of cool, if it is.

I could admire Saudi Arabia if they will build a forest city since most of their land are not fit for plantation; they can hire as many scientists if they want because they have much money than any other country, it's just a suggestion not to intervene or dictate their plan

City before city after

Bizarre

I wonder if this was inspired by the city of Logans Run?

This is the new Blockbuster HORROR movie!!!

Total Recall.

There's going to be quite a bottle neck for container ships. Even though they can grow food, I'm sure the citizens would still like to import products like phones, laptops, TVs, etc. Or if they plan on building manufacturing facilities, they still need raw materials.

How can people meet in the line city if they are living from end to end?

It'll go as well as Dubais islands.

What makes it possible is their absolute monarchy government

Idk how it will happen but KSA keeps their plans secret so maybe they already had a plan Btw new subscriber added More power to you

Millions of people living in a 170 kms long corridor, only 200 meters wide, trapped between two walls as high as a mountain. What a futuristic vision of Hell on Earth! I hope the project includes at least one psychiatric hospital, the residents will/would need it.

They will probably forget to add waste management or something, also that "high speed rail" system is pure scifi. This is going to be such a fail. also dystopia.

Looool i cannot wait to see this city being complete in 200 years 🤣🤣 Ohhh crap

I think it’s cool that something of this magnitude is being attempted but I think too many bad design elements got incorporated because too many people were afraid to tell a prince “No”. Foreign investors of course aren’t under such constraints and thus far NEOM has generated very little investor interest which has increasingly gotten less year over year. As such I don’t see this project being completed, at least not to the original scale. Wind load is a problem for tall buildings. The design as rendered doesn’t show how vortex shedding is going to be achieved so it will be interesting to see what they come up with. Probably would have made more sense to have a segmented line and use the space in between the segments for wind turbines.? A 200m wide building is only going to get about 30 min of midday sun and virtually none if that direct sunlight will reach the lower floors. A lot of energy is going to be used just to keep such a building from being a dungeon. This is a lot of vertical living….moving people up and down will consume a lot of energy! Sand! I have to imagine this place is going to let in a lot of sand which would be a nightmare to try and keep clean. Also solar panels don’t work so great in a desert if they are covered in sand. They will need to be constantly cleaned and there are going to need a lot of solar panels if this is supposed to be green and all of the desalination that is going to be needed. This project I have to imagine its cost is grossly underestimated. 1.5 trillion is likely a more realistic number. I would love to go check this out if it got completed but I sure wouldn’t want to live there. It’s kind of like Vegas….after 3 days u can’t wait to go back home.

so will it be made on unreal engine?
