Saudi Arabia's Mega City that Runs Itself: NEOM

📬 Join our newsletter for more cool content! bit.ly/3RhfUUs
Welcome to NEOM: Saudi Arabia’s futuristic next mega-city. Today this video focuses on the city of NEOM, Saudi Arabia and the distinct regions within it: The Line, Oxagon, and Trojena. The Line is NEOM’s centerpiece: a vertical 3D city that is self-sufficient and conserves as much space as humanly possible. It can also host up to 9 million people, and it'll be a city of the future. Wow. Oxagon is NEOM’s industrial city: run on artificial intelligence and autonomous vehicles. Pretty cool, huh? Finally, Trojena: The Mountains of NEOM. Trojena is a luxury mountain city that will host skiing, relaxation, entertainment, and the whole place surrounds a giant man-made lake called The Vault. NEOM has had a lot of controversy surrounding it for a multitude of reasons. Stick around to the end of the video to learn why.

I bet we will see MORE animals, MORE plants, MORE and better technology by the end of this project, and will help fund more environment protection projects than you and your communist hippie group will ever do, see that exotic desert lion? KILL IT, ask the one who killed it to pay for hunting fee of a million dollars, and use that a million dollars to breed 1000s of that lion, and repeat, in a decade you will have more exotic lions than there is chicken LOL, that is the LOGIC behind econimics, which you are not educated in. The solution is to attract rich people to kill the animals, sit under those trees, live next to those desert mirrors, and their tax money will fund MORE than stupid keyboard warriors will ever do, if the stupid socialists just stay the fk out of this and it will be great.

    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

    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.

    A line, or rather a very narrow rectangle, is such an inefficient shape for urban planning. Imagine that an accident or any other kind of block occurs in one point of the line, it would be a logistic hell to transport anything from point A to point B, if the blockade zone happens to be big enough and within those two points. Now, in a traditional polygonal-shaped city, there are many redundant routes between any two random points over the surface, and if one those routes got blocked for whatever reason, there are many alternative ways to get there. This "lineal" city reintroduces a problem that was already solved millennia ago. And that's just one single problem out of the many I can think on the fly, and I got the feeling that many more problems will come the deeper a person analyzes this innovative and "futuristic" idea.
