Exactly. It sounds like a pie in the sky idea. However, if you throw enough money at something, eventually you’ll get something done. But whether that’s actually economically viable, or implemented well is a totally different story. Years ago my friend rented a presidential suite in Sydney. It looked amazing from outside. A big open plan apartment on the top floor! But inside, if you looked closely you could see that the floors were slightly lopsided, the electrical circuit was failing in some areas, the walls were warped, the tiles were cracked and misaligned, and plumbing was terrible. You can’t fake good workmanship. You can only hope to fool people for long enough to get paid. My friend moved out after a few months.

Good public transportation tries have stations within 0.5 km of population centers to be useful, less preferred. Even 43 was too few for that, 9 is ridiculous. This sounded like a pipe dream from the first animation - the more is revealed and the more we see of the progress, the more it sounds like a useless, nay stupid money pit.

Minimalist plan (*just a thought exercise): 1. Build 1km (length) of The Line’s towers/structures at each of the 9 transit stops, but with just 1 tower & not 2. Substitute the second southernmost tower with a 100m tall x 1km length solar energy collector panel. This preserves the middle area as seen in the artists conceptions. 2. Skip Trojena: ski areas with borderline freezing temperatures just don’t work. Just ask any of the USA’s southernmost ski areas about their struggles in the warm years. 3. Sindalah and Hidden Marina are most likely to be the success stories. The Line might then work as a suburb and transit system for them.

"The vision is that everything is within walking distance." flash forward to "The number of subway stops has been reduced from 48 to 9". So basically, you have to walk 8.5km one way to get to a location in between stops now.

Almost nobody will ever make THAT journey. And yet, that's the journey they boast about.

My nephew is literally over there as we speak over seeing the build he sent all kinds of videos its so cool

One thing I can say pretty confidently is these futuristic type of mega builds generally don't turnout to be how they invisioned them. I think it's a cool idea but is very impractical to build such a large structure. Not to mention they have several projects going on at once. Let's just take a look at the Abu Dhabi islands project that still to this day isn't complete. Even with a large portion of it done, it doesn't generate the money they thought it would. I cannot imagine anyone really wanting to live inside a wall that stretches for miles upon miles. Such a thing continues to build on an ever growing dystopian society. That's pretty much how these things go, royalty wants something done, so they put billions of dollars into it. Then it's either never completed or started. Doesn't really benefit the areas population. In fact it makes it harder to live in the area. Like the guy said, the carbon footprint is disgustingly massive! Personally I think not telling royalty no, often results in a bad ending. The reality of it is no matter what happens we don't live in a movie. There isn't going to be this perfect utopian society! That is the main reason I think this is a bad idea!

With a light and easy going, yet insightful, considered and ultra informative presentation style. Just right.

Damn, they could have used a fraction of that construction effort to extend seawater into a system of rivers deep into the desert, creating new ecosystems (and marginally hindering the global rise of sea-level). They could have created all the fancy, fun shapes they wanted and still added transit and built new cities. Not that this isn't all cool as hell if it gets even partially completed. Who's gonna live here? No idea but increasing the global housing stock, if it's sufficiently well-connected, can only have positive second-order effects.

I have low expectations for a lot of them. With tight deadlines there is messy cutting edges.

i have three massive questions though, 1, where will the food come from to feed everyone in these future cities? 2. where will the water come from because if it's just distillation then that puts more strain on question 3 3. what will their source of power even be for all this?

Saudi is the world leading country in distillation, and one of the earliest NEOM projects announced is the Solar Dome distillation plant ("At an estimated $0.34/m3, the cost of producing water via “solar dome” technology will be significantly lower than desalination plants using reverse osmosis methods") For energy, already afoot the largest Green Hydrogen energy plant ('Located in Oxagon, the NEOM Green Hydrogen Company (NGHC) facility will be the largest commercial-scale green hydrogen production facility. NGHC is a joint venture of ACWA Power, Air Products and NEOM. Upon completion in 2026, it is expected to produce 600 tons of carbon-free a day (1.2M tonnes of green ammonia annually); estimated annual reduction of up to 5 million tonnes of CO2 emissions.' But this is in addition to other renewable energy sources.) For food, I know that they have an accelerator program for food sustainability start-ups, and are planning on ("producing an innovative food sector with a total output of over 600,000 tons by 2030, it has announced. Fruits and vegetables will be the main produced components, contributing some 325,000 tons, followed by alternative meat and dairy products with a total of 178,000 tons. Aquaculture and grains came next with production plans of 80,000 tons and 48,000 tons respectively, according to the company. For aquaculture, production mainly targets native species that live in the Red Sea waters in order to maximize local sustainability such as Yellowtail Kingfish, Great Amberjack, Orange-spotted Grouper, and Meagre. NEOM aims for a total output of 80,000 tons per year for all of these species, helping it to exceed self-sufficiency levels.")

The Saudi population is expected to grow by ~13m people over the next 35 years (37m to 50m population), so you have to get extra food, water and utilities there anyway whether the population lives on the line or somewhere else. It might be relatively efficient to have distribution and infrastructure in a straight line with good rail service connected to a big port? East Africa is relatively close by sea and likely has spare agricultural capacity. While I don't really understand why the line can't be shorter and thicker, Saudi has to build and provide something for the additional population anyway. Comparing the build CO2 for buildings supporting 8-9m people to the annual CO2 of a fairly energy efficient, densely populated and hugely service based economy that builds ~150k homes per year doesn't really tell me much. A better comparison would be to the same infrastructure built onto existing Saudi cities and towns, or a more traditional design.

My concern about this project isn’t whether it’s viable. It’s that to make two 500 meter tall skyscraper walls extending 175 *kilometers*, it’s going to take approximately a year’s worth of the *entire global supply of steel*. Global steel prices in the years will be severely impacted if this project continues as planned.

@giuseppebonatici7169

6 ай бұрын

that would mean that the steel industry, well before out of stock, will rise prices to insane level to reduce the demand pressure. To build the line you would have to export/import it so the price will be leverage too. this will mean that the cost of steel for the line would be even worse and the prices used to calculate the cost of it was based in a "cheap steel" era, so they will never be able to afford it. they will have to reduce construction speed to no affect demand too much. Increasing the cost of construction and maintenance over the construction period. (A side note. iron is really expensive right now and it is projected to stay at that level. in my country, that traditionally do not have iron mines because they are economically awful (some manage to stay afloat, and that is, like, the best case scenario), is having a boom of iron exploration and iron mine openings)
