Le Monde – The Line

Goes Round and Round

The Line is a revolutionary linear city concept attempting to create an unprecedented urban living experience while preserving the surrounding natural beauty. The Saudi Arabian city is currently under construction in Neom, Tabuk. The infrastructure will accommodate nine million people and, with ideal weather conditions year-round, residents will be encouraged to enjoy nature. All public facilities will be within a five-minute walk of residences, rendering cars and roads unnecessary. The technology behind this smart city will prioritize people’s health over transportation and infrastructure. It is a comfort to know that the future of urban-planning technology may be stewarded by people who care about the environment and adapting technology to face modern challenges.
