Those who enjoy math, will have played around with "optimal" shapes. Shapes that are the best at something. For example, a circle has the shortest possible edge for its content. NEOM has a very unusual shape for cities: a line. And what is a line best at? Distance! By stringing the people of a city along a line, you create the maximum possible average distance between them. Oh, it's true that NEOM isn't just a line - it will have multiple floors. And the basic amenities, e.g. grocery shops, will be repeated many times along, so you'll be near one of them. But some things will exist only once in the whole city - e.g. your home and your workplace. NEOM's shape makes the average commute as long as it can possibly be. So don't bet anything on NEOM until you see a detailed, complete, credible description of its transport system.

To the video author: you said that a "journey from one end to the other end will take only 20 minutes". Are you sure? That requires one of the fastest trains in the world, e.g. China's magnetic levitation train - which is not an ordinary affordable vehicle, but an expensive showcase. And the train would have to run from end to end WITHOUT STOPPING. Who DOES that? Why would a rail system offer such a journey? How many people, living at one END of the city, have a great need to reach the other END, so much that the train won't make any stops along the way? You're full of it, author. You're promising us impossible things.
Does feel like a place they try to sell you as amazing, but its really a technological prison so you don't escape. There's a movie like that called "The island 2005"
If NEOM fails, all those foreign technical advisors, management consultants and project designers ought to be held culpable and made to pay back the billions they have bilked the Saudis. And who convinced the Saudis that “Once you build the cities the businesses will follow”, a highly risky strategy. Give them the 'Ritz Carlton' treatment, and make those so-called experts return all those unjustified charges/loots.
@davidfairless1028 The concept, design and work execution was all done by foreign so-called technical experts. They fooled the Saidi's into paying for it. Its the Saudis loss, but these technical "experts" are culpable for knowingly causing this huge loss.
As I recall the general vibe among those experts is the Saudi supervisors ignore them and they're afraid they'll disappear if they give any kind of pushback. This is a disaster Saudi created for itself.
@CruelestChris The Saudis certainly share responsibility. But the foreign 'experts' KNOWINGLY caused a huge loss to Saudi, while themselves immensely profiting.
@zafar.2 Not really. The thing the contractors presented Saudi with, aside from the Hyperloop, _can_ be built and The Line actually is being built. The problem is far more that the Prince is surrounded by yes-men and people who don't tow the line that his big cool ideas are big and cool tend to vanish. One of the big critics of Neom was that guy who was lured to an embassy and then vanished mysteriously in a manner that's likely to have involved several large barrels of acid.
An MIT simulation found that if the current pace of greenhouse emissions remains constant in the middle east, it will be uninhabitable within 50 years as the temperature would exceed the threshold for human survivability.
@zafar.2 Not very bright to call something nonsense when you haven't seen the study. Go look up middle east temperature uninhabitable. And everyone reading.
this just obviously was never going work. The planners and government must have known this, so is the point to just come up with an excuse to give out government contracts that they know won't accomplish anyything except enrich the contracting companies and provide jobs for a while?
well if he want to build mega city like that, the easiest way to build it is to constuct the city like a lego, he should choose the main idea between great wall or a city.
I truly hope they can pull it off, but there are obvious reasons why I have my doubts. Although they can rely on cheap labor, this project will be way more than 1.5 trillion for just the 2.4 km section of the line. They have to grow a city like this organically, they can’t force it. But the Saudis are too ambitious (which isn’t the worst quality) and will force it anyways. I think the rush is more from the fear of losing oil revenues. Everyone in the western world knows that if Saudi Arabia can’t change their economy, they will be one of the biggest economic collapse is history. Venezuela on steroids. Still many years away, but it will come.
the king should just work as a consultant for a software developer and pitch these ideas as a futuristic town in some upcoming futuristic JRPG instead of trying, and failing, to will it into reality
Imagine the ancient egyptians were alive during his time, nothing would be built if they listened to him he's just upset euro is no longer racing to advance humanity I'm not saudi I'm from the west what they want to build is inspiration for all doesn't matter about color or race or religion and I'm wishing them all the best of luck to them and hope they actually do what they said they will do
The project was stupid in the first place as the line is the most inefficient structure for habitation as the longer it is the more space you give up for traffic and utility corridors

@muhammadhashim5314 Those who care about Saudi people ought to point out that this is not an economically viable project. In addition, it is not an attractive and liveable arrangement to house many millions of people. This is not negative thinking, it is sincerity. Drop it at this stage, and put it down as an experiment. As an experiment it's fine. Beware of insincere people/firms that are benefitting from this at the expense of Saudi. And NY is a 'normal' city, it's not a Line in the desert, its location and shape evolved according to people's needs. It can't be compared to this Line.
Initially, the first plans for NEOM were fantastic; I was a big fan. A 100-plus kilometer line would feature various cities based on thoughtful studies of the most livable cities in the world, such as Copenhagen, Amsterdam, and Vancouver. Large enough to meet all needs, yet small enough to always have access to nature. With beautiful (and attainable!) goals in terms of sustainability, it was truly an example for the world. However, then someone introduced the concept of "The Line." It seems bizarre and grotesque. Why suddenly include all this nonsense like in Dubai? Let them build the largest structures; that’s not an art form if you just pay for it. Therefore, Saudi Arabia, start over now before it’s too late. Let the world be amazed by what you can achieve. Show that workers can (or rather, should) work hard if they are treated well. And if it takes a little longer, that’s perfectly fine; the world will be impressed.
Too ambitious and impractical. Maybe just start with some eco-friendlymnormal neighborhoods and a resort or two aling the coast? Instead of trying to top dubai in megaprojects, maybe try to attract industry there...but hey what do i know

Exactly.
