The Line: Saudi Arabia’s Highly Controversial Mega City Project

Описание: Welcome Back To Incredible Tech!

In January of 2021, Saudi Arabia announced plans for its own futuristic city called The Line. Instead of communities sprawling outward from a central location, they would be built vertically and arranged, well, in a line hence the name. Even though the vision for the city stretches 170 kilometers, it would do away with cars entirely and, instead, be connected by high-speed rail that would travel the entire length in just 20 minutes. And each individual community would be largely self-contained so that almost anything you could need, be it a school, a doctor, or a quick meal, would be only a 5-minute walk away. The Line's designers envision a city wherein facilities are just a five-minute walk away from people and where residents can organically bump into each other as they go about their daily errands.
