Oh, puh-leeze. You've got nearly 3 million subs and you're peddling this garbage? Way to lose a subscription.
Yeah, Masterworks again. With close to 3m subscribers, they should offer you a load of cash. But these adverts never point out the risks of these so-called alternative investments. One wonders if you comply with the UK's FCA rules.
A bullshit sponsor for bullshit projects. How fitting.
What is more likely to happen is that in 30-50 years, there will be some very fantastic-looking ruins scattered across the Arabian Peninsula.
Partially completed ruins.
Yet you'll sit there with a drink that has a dissolved paper straw and think: "well at least I've done my part to save the planet". Clown world 😂
@@MikkelKjrJensen I don't think
@@rjohnm666 economics my be but physics i don;t think
We already have the Jedda Tower
Gotta love that part that shows the person FLOATING IN THE AIR, goes to show you how grounded these ideas truly are.
Yes. People and trees (0:50) flying in the visualizations - really a prove that thic project is thoroughly planned and not someone's fantasy.
It was actually someone jumping from the roof, they just rewound the footage for PR purposes..
@@samuela-aegisdottir The Saudis are missing a golden opportunity by not genetically modifying turtles to be the size of islands for people to live on.
@@nickv1212 you just want to make your avatar fantasy come to life, which is understandable. Living island is rad!
I think it would be better if they tried to incorporate their traditional architecture and art into it and also be fitting of Arabia environment instead of being tacky projects.
Agreed. These projects have no soul.
Read about diriyah Gate
I would rather go to a clean city with great public transport and several small cultural attractions (like tokyo) than an unclean city with one big attraction (like dubai)
Agree, these ugly buildings don’t look good and stand out like a sore thumb in the desert, it just doesn’t work and shows they don’t care about the design and more so the spectacle
@@geode9512I’d love to go to…but probably a city that’s a little more civilized? I hear they treat women like second class citizens and also brown people…
I could imagine that in the next decades these megaprojects will become massive slums like in some dystopian Sci-Fi movies.
like Dubai?
@@emmanuilushka is Dubai a slum?
@@LordCroker look at how the “workers” are living.
Ever wonder why Gulf Arabs have no real respect?
Oh yeah, they also don’t give citizenship to non-Arabs.
@@LordCroker it was sarcasm.
@@emmanuilushka Dubai is still run with the oil money. What happens when Dubai needs to become self-sustaining? Can it?
The port is the only one I see having potential success. But it looks like it's overdimensioned for what they actually have a use for there.
Yeah absolutely and also they have to compete with Egypt and Port Jebel ali in Dubai wich is already well established. and Egypt could undercut on Harbour fees they already earn a fortune just on Suez canal passings. And also the floating part of the Octagon will be very expspensive if not impossible to maintain cant put that thing into a drydock for Refurbishement. i dont know much about the seabed in the redsea and seismic activity but you are also never tottaly safe from a tsunami wave most places that would tottaly wreck the floating parts.
Also the Ski resort. They only need to bring down the temperature a bit further to have loads of snow at 2600 m above sea level.
They just HAD to put the houses on water to make it look cool on renders, building space is definitely the constraint when building in a desert right?
@@Infernal_Elf I was thinking about the rust and maintenance issue as well. I hadn't thought of seismic activity but it's not far from the East African Rift System so yeah that could be an issue.
The airport seems plausible as a hub but I don't see anything else here working out.
I still can't believe they've actually started digging the line.
What's the controversy around the Foster and Partners airport?
I think it would have been cool to see where all of these projects are in relation to each other and how they're connected, since several of them are part of NEOM. Would love to have a proper long-form video on the logistics/feasibility of these projects when more information comes out (if more information comes out, and this isn't as much as we'll learn until they're all started/built.)
My native town is Cagliari, Sardinia. It's a touristic city on a tourist island. The city itself has around 400k inhabitants, with 1.5 million inhabitants on the entire island. The airport of the town is a medium to small size airport. It had 4 million passengers in 2018.
That will basically be the Concorde of airports and it will fail for the same reason. Nobody will use it.
They've started digging the Line mostly for PR purposes, to show the world that something is being done. Everything else published about The Line shows the project still being at the concept stage at best. There are no design drawings, construction plans, tender announcements, or anything that says: "we're building *this*, *here*, and *then*." Just fancy concept renders and grandiose visions. That's where it will most likely remain too, except over time there will be this really long trench in the desert as they keep digging to give the impression that work is ongoing.
They are only going to complete a few kilometers and then stop. There’s no way they’ll ever complete that.
The Line will be the coolest dystopian city ever to exist for 4 years until if starts to literally crumble and also roaming gangs take over different sections.
@@Laneous14 cool!
They learnt nothing from Dubai's failed projects then. If these projects are supposed to be a diversification of the economy from oil, that implies they expect them to bring money into the country in the long term. They need to understand that there's a very limited number of people who can spend the kind of money these projects will have to charge to make a profit.
but that would mean that they have to pay their workers to actually have enough money to use the stuff that they build and you know how much investors, share-holders and billionaires hate paying their workers their fair share
yeah, these projects are fucked and likely won't see completion unless they deliberately decide to get rid of the profit motive (and even then, it's unlikely)
No one also wants to be dismembered
Yeah they really shouldn’t gamble their money on these insane projects working out as intended instead of oil like before
@Md Jack I mean that could applied to whatever the tallest building of that time is, our understanding of stuff like that changes over time.
@@teenytinytoons I mean those countries are like the safest places on the planet and crime is basically non existent. But that comes as a result of their political system.
1 million passengers a year by 2030? Thats what the biggest airports in the world now do in less than a week..
Its also the airport for the port, the ski resort AND The Line. So lets see, 9 mullion people in The Line, 1 million a year through the shared airport. Yeah, no-one who ever enters there is going to be allowed to leave...
@Dair Allan actually this airport is not for Neom, the airport for neom is called "Neom airport" and its already been built.
The busiest airports (not airport) do that in just 5 days.
@Himanshu Singh..some airports do it in “a-day” that is one day at least a million travellers. :D. But I think that airport is supposed to cater for luxury travel exclusively.
The airport is being built basically to kickstart a new city from scratch near the Red sea. But yeah, constructing the airport first extravagantly, with a town in its budding state seems out of place, or maybe the town in itself is just for the uber riches only with their own private airport?
I love how they have practically infinite space, and still choose to build half an octagon ON THE OCEAN while restricting access to their 'mega port'.
Truly 4D chess
They only have the “gimmick” to bring tourists in. There’s quite literally no reason to visit the Middle East apart from work.
But that infinite space is just desert. Not exactly a hospitable environment.
@@georgehill3087 is the ocean any more hospitable?
@@S28426Yes, because it's in a controlled inner coast. When it's built up, then it's basically a coastal city. And if it's just a regular coastal city, then there's nowhere near the incentives for investors to invest nor potential buyers to buy properties in the place.
This is gonna make some contractors, architecture firms, designers, and highly skilled workers really really rich. Being an engineer I wish I had a job in some NEOM project lolz.
How so?
The same things happened with Dubai during the late 90s and early 2000s. A lot of scams and plenty of money to be made.
My prediction: Apart from the airport, none of these projects will ever be realized. But they make for great headlines.
The ski resort is probably also going to happen, though I'm not sure about its long-term viability. For everything else, if oil prices dip in the next 10 years, they're all doomed.
@@abdullat9264 Sindalah is also doable. Line and Oxagon are pipe dreams in my opinion.
just like 1km building that they never finished
@@abdullat9264 Oil price won't dip, because if it does, they will just cut production with OPEC, driving up the cost.
They could try making a new rain Forest?
Or they could just forget these dumb mega projects and build useful stuff like sustainable infrastructure and transit projects within their existing cities to cut down on car emissions
@@bababababababa6124
If your whole society just consists out of lazy rich petrol heads, reducing car emissions is probably not your first goal. Even though they probably wont have any say in that though.
But for real, those projects seems like the ideas of a 12 y.o. with infinite money. Whats the plan here? Tourism wont save their asses, when the world stop buying oil.
Id try to get into key technology, R&D the next energy source. They have infinite sunshine ... invest in energy storage ffs ... anything but "giant cubes and lines" ....
@@bababababababa6124 Exactly!!!
Invest in the future development of actual infrastructure in their populated cities and not on these dismal vanity projects! What a waste.
@@bababababababa6124 don’t worry about us worry about biden’s “build back better”
Yeah honestly this is probably the more sound idea... These project basically show that people getting rich through capitalism miss allocate capital to no end.
The Borg Cube actually makes a lot more sense than the linear City.
Especially when all visitors get assimilated into the collective…
Yeah, for the Borg.
Resistance is Futile
What’s crazy is that the airport makes the most sense even though it’s outlandish
In 50 years these projects will be dystopian movie sets.
Lol who cares about movies. These projects won't even be finished.
They are NOT on a "mega projects building spree". They are on a "futurist 3D render spree".

@@zemstafreda That certainly has worked out well, hasn't it?

The Cube looks very interesting. The Line looks completely insane. The ski resort will probably prove to be the most successful venture of them all.
everyone that actually went skiing before would know that an artificial ski resort is a stupid idea and will never come close to real ski resorts
@@hannesarved Many ski resorts even in Norway are Quite depedent on artificial snow these days. all u need is sub zero temperature and alot of water and power and snow makers. not eco friendly or cheap but absolutely possible. Pretty much all of the slopes and such in the 2022 Beijing winter olympics had artificial snow. should never had been hosted there because of human rights and pollution but they did achive it.
I'd argue that the thing in favour of the cube, is that it at least looks a little viable, in contrast to the other options.
@@Infernal_Elf Still there is nature in Europe. After the Olympic construction projects, more and more ruins remain. Solid losses for local budgets and a headache for support services. I don't mind at all if the project is successful. A lot of useful things will be developed and tested.
@@hannesarved You are a clueless troll
Neom hasn’t uploaded a new video for quite a while now, has it?
Because it was a failed project from the beginning ☠️how ANYONE actually believed that it would ever be completed is astonishing

Can you do a series of videos on what an arcology is, their challenges, and technology needed and where they are likely built based on proposed arcology projects. They are really the buildings of science fiction yet we are so close to building such a structure.
I think the channel DamiLee might have a video about that.
Learned all about them in Sim City 2000…
Arcologies are a major feature in Peter f Hamilton's early books that he wrote in 1990s; the world population had to live in massive covered cities with shields cos of how badly we screwed up the environment..
Starting to think that a lot of these announcements and animations are more for Global PR than any kind of actual action plans.
They have started construction or groundworks on several of the projects. Very exspensive PR hiring loads of digging machines and trucks.
@@Infernal_Elf good. Their loss! The line is the dumbest project ever possibly conceived.
@@AsiaMinor12 The same was said about Burj khalifa too 🤔 I sold it to investors and today it's an icon
@@theancientsancients1769 Completely different scenarios. Burj Khalifa is one stupid building with no plumbing. Pretty sure the most iconic thing about it is the caravan of poop trucks every morning, and the smell. But still, one building, golf claps all around.
It's half a mile tall and the line is 500 miles long. You see the difference? The amount of materials required, I can't even wrap my head around, nevermind the time it's gonna take. Will MBS even be alive by the time it's done? Imagine all the other projects and innovative designs people are gonna make in the next century as this stupid pipe dream slowly comes together. Someone said in these comments that sometimes it's better to learn lessons from your own mistakes than just looking at what happened to others to avoid making the same mistakes. Well, the line is gonna be an expensive, life long lesson then. And if they forgo plumbing again, imagine the traffic jams cause of poop trucks. Or heck, if they do also do 500 miles of plumbing, just imagine someone clogging up the system, then it's down for everyone.
@@theancientsancients1769 if you can't figure out how unbelievably stupid this project is, you are endowed with mediocre education and less than average IQ, my friend.
Concepts are one thing but finished projects are quite another. Ditto about slick marketing vs quality construction.
They should make a new Great Pyramid. Not just something that has a pyramid shape, but actually made from giant 10 ton blocks, and clad with polished limestone with a golden cap, which is what the existing pyramids would have had in their heyday.
They should make them upside down. NOW that would look impressive. After all, if we are going to make stupid projects that will surely fail, at least go for something fun.
“Like Dubai” as if that’s something to aspire to be…
Honestly why not? Half the world & countless brits seem to be moving there for some reason. It's booming by most metrics. I don't like it, never have not my cup of tea but it's generally good for a world full of migration iwthn owehre for people to go. Full of American dream migrants & success stories. Good on em I say
I know it’s rank there.
It is compared to most of the other backwards nations in the region.
it simply puts a line in the sand for engineering!? who comes up with these amazing "lines"??? so enjoyable!!!! yet another great one, thanx B1M!!
well the video could have really been a bit more critical about the projects :D
He knows who is going to pay him to promote these very disasters in the making. Doesn't want to alienate the very hand that's going to be feeding him soon.
The B1M has been much more skeptical about these projects in the various earlier videos dedicated to each of them. This video was simply an overview of the top 5.
I agree, I would’ve liked to see him rip into these projects more and roast them, but to be fair this video is just supposed to be an overview of the top mega projects in the country now. To be fair we have Adam Something for that too 😂
Agreed. Literally 30 seconds of him saying 'there are human rights issues and they need good PR' followed by 'anyway, here's the amazing list of projects.' Disappointing that he's giving them the good PR.
"I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said-“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away"

Ohhh Helll yea another video from you guys, lets goooooo :)
😮 Outstanding as always.
0:49 For some reason seeing the levitating trees in the NEOM footage just angers me somehow. I don't know why.
I think it's the rotating part. That would mess up the suspension cables, right? Or it just looks stupid, IDK.
These projects surely have no intention of actually being finished to their full potential lol
I wanna see at least 10% of all these "megaprojects" completed.
Stfu not ur bus
Interesting topic. I feel like there's more to this subject in many ways.
Tapping left at the beginning of the video is a hidden gem
I predict half of these don’t get built and the ones that do are poor imitations of the fancy renders.
The airport is almost done, and if you look at the renders at 7:37 you already see that those cars riding there will never happen. Also, in one of these renders you see a woman without a hijab, which signals to me as those video renders are only for positive PR.
Optimist!
@@RiRiDingetjes Once the oil demand is down who the hell is going to use that airport? People that want to look at camels?
It's interesting how the aim is to be more like Dubai, but they don't seem to understand what it is that made Dubai so successful in the first place. Other than Emirates Airline, the core reasons are business-friendly regulations, safety, competent government, an open approach to immigration and cheap energy, not glitzy projects that have attracted so many to Dubai.
Wouldn't really call their government competent lol
These projects are for anyone but the people going to live or visit it. The projects are to massage the egos of the idiots planning them w

Amazing info thanks
loved the video
Six Flags Qiddiya. Falcons Flight will definitely be the craziest coaster ever built
Because I am human my first reaction was apprehension and slight repulsion because of how artificial everything appears to be in these mega-structures... while I don't necessarily want to live in any of these megastructures I do appreciate these megastructures on an architectural level and on a artistic level because just WOW look at all those ideas. Lastly, this video was well done B1M. You are continuously the definitive channel for construction. You all do such a marvelous job behind the scenes to produce such wonderful videos.
I'm in the same boat. They will need people to want to live there though, there will be an abundance of housing and if not filled with people buying second homes or people wanting to live as a community then it will fall into crime and disarray like similar projects.
I'm thinking at least some of these will follow other unfinished projects in the Middle East. Thanks for the compilation!
Impressive structures. But other than the airport and maybe the port. I cant see any of the other ever being completed.
The projects are way too fragmented and all over different places. I think they should have just concentrated on on city and see how it turns out. Also the 'Cube' would've a better(slightly practical) idea to start city given the fact that its an Islam nation over the line instead.
A 400mx400m cube at a center of the city would be like the Burja Khalifa in Dubai giving you that extravagant and shock value reeling in tourist!
sponsor spots so smooth i didnt notice until it was half way done, damn fred.

6:36 - That's one fully upgraded Civilization 6 tile on a desert map - but it doesn't change the fact that the adjacent tiles have no yield! Hopefully there's at least some fish resources, or maybe a natural wonder which offers science benefits. Because that's not looking like a good start! XD
That was one hell of a smooth segue.
No matter how many mega projects they're gonna develop in the future, they would still be directed to the wealthy who comprise a tiny fraction of the population.
The week isn't the same without one of your videos ❤

Thank you so much!
the line actually holds some promise, because all they have to do is build a small section of it in order to prove the concept, and expand from there if needed.
I love how you pitch your voice finely between good manners and taking the piss. :-)
Construction is always exciting. I am looking forward to seeing which ones are developed in my lifetime or this decade! 😎

Same here. I bet we will see many fundamental changes this decade on how the world works. My educated guess is that AI, household robots, cheap abundant green energy, self driving vehicles and massively increased computing power (through quantum computing) and some massive breakthroughs in medical field will shape our lives. In the 2000s we got broadband internet and smartphones, in the 2010s we got social media, very powerful machine learning tools for businesses. 2020s already expanded the trend of "content creation as a job", and I believe we will still see very noticeable changes in our lifestyles this decade.

While one or two of these projects *might* eventually turn a profit, I suspect the world will never see more expensive dumpster fires than most of these. It truly is mindboggling just how much money is being frivolously wasted on these giga-vanity projects.
Most of it will never be built and only announced
“A global magnet for tourism” so long as your wife covers her face and she’s happy not being allowed to drive or go out on her own.
And being okay with slavery etc
At the end of the video where they were showcasing the latest excavation and pile driving it definitely looks like their projects need much bigger construction equipment!!!
For some reason I see video games set in these structures. About 100 years in the future. With them either having failed and being living ruins, or some dystopian future a la Cyberpunk 2077.
