the city is huge, its stretched out, it will take you 40-50minutes with zero traffic to go one end to the other and 2-3 hours with traffic. 7 people living there and most of them use cars as its hot to go outside and walk so the whole city is built for driving comfort, its really stretched out.

Okay, I’ll bite… Why is the late Bernard Cribbins playing Wilfred Mott being shown at 3:17 with the words “COURTESY OF BUNGIE/ECKHARTS LADDER” (your caps), especially when the video is from Doctor Who episode The End of Time, Part 2 (I think), who’s copyright is probably held by the BBC?
So it wasn't just me who thought that bit was weird? Also, the footage choice for Halo was terrible. They went to make an architectural or stylistic comparison with Halo but I'd say didn't even really try the visual comparison, instead covering it up with something that could have resembled a joke under conditions I fail to see.
You've taken the clickbait and sensationalism too far. Anyone with the slightest background in actual contracting, logistics, or economics knows this will never happen. Sad to see how far this channel has fallen, unsubbed.
4:04 The mad spirit of experimental architecture is to be applauded especially as it's withering on the vine in the current cost conscious climate. As just mentioned, how close will these imagined befores be to their actual afters? Can you foresee a situation where FIFA permits all those distracting screens to be on during world cup matches? Can you imagine the added pressure on the players to beat the competition? Not from the other team but from the screens. Finally, can you imagine that if FIFA allows them to be functioning during a game, can you imagine them allowing anything other than the live feed or replays on them? I dunno, something like adverts to be shown too..‽ Of course they will!!!
One more totally wasted world cup. Like Qatar, a world cup totally without heart and soul. Place the world cup in places people actually like football... Who is going to use these stadiums? No fans want to go there.
Its just a game. Why go spend huge amount of money for a sports of all things. Just use open field for sport and give all the money to poor people like me.
Majority of poor people in developing countries don't have: Piped water, drainage, sewers, refuse collection, welfare payments (for basic food shelter and clothing), paved sidewalks, roads, street lighting, clean public schools access, clean public hospitals access, access to impartial justice. Providing all of those things will create millions of real jobs in addition to lifting the country out of hovel status. That's what our governments should be focused upon, not hugely expensive luxury projects. Just my take, no offense intended towards anyone.

Id have liked to hear more about the human rights violations...
Saudi Arabia built King Abdullah economic city and it failed therefore i will not be shocked if THE LINE follows the same fate. What also are they going to do with all this stadiums after the world cup especially in Riyadh, most of their domestic football matches are played in empty crowds.
Nobody else said it so - that halo 3 callback hit hard
اكتشفت أن الأجانب يحسدوننا تمامًا مثل محيطنا البائس.🙂
Well that's going to be fun all sun and no ice cold beer!!
There’s no way half of these get built
Hello, from Uzbekistan
Okay, I’ll bite… Why is the late Bernard Cribbins playing Wilfred Mott being shown at 3:17 with the words “COURTESY OF BUNGIE/ECKHARTS LADDER” (your caps), especially when the video is from Doctor Who episode The End of Time, Part 2 (I think), who’s copyright is probably held by the BBC?
So it wasn't just me who thought that bit was weird? Also, the footage choice for Halo was terrible. They went to make an architectural or stylistic comparison with Halo but I'd say didn't even really try the visual comparison, instead covering it up with something that could have resembled a joke under conditions I fail to see.
The fantasy starts at 7:26 and ends at 8:39
You've taken the clickbait and sensationalism too far. Anyone with the slightest background in actual contracting, logistics, or economics knows this will never happen. Sad to see how far this channel has fallen, unsubbed.
'back row' plus your dream team graphic is back to front! freddie and football do not mix haha
amazing how not even nearly all the money in the world can buy elegance
The stadiums look beautiful, what are you talking about?
That halo bit 😂
Some people are crying while we’re thriving 🇸🇦🇸🇦
slave labor country without water 😂😂
That's ridiculous to have that many stadiums that close together. Are there many people within the area to fill them all? Sounds like overkill.
After seeing the recent wars, I don’t know if if cramped up cities are great anymore
And 90% of the facilities and associated stadium areas around them will be abandoned before and after - insane.
Welcome to AI Render Arabia.
4:04 The mad spirit of experimental architecture is to be applauded especially as it's withering on the vine in the current cost conscious climate.
As just mentioned, how close will these imagined befores be to their actual afters? Can you foresee a situation where FIFA permits all those distracting screens to be on during world cup matches? Can you imagine the added pressure on the players to beat the competition? Not from the other team but from the screens. Finally, can you imagine that if FIFA allows them to be functioning during a game, can you imagine them allowing anything other than the live feed or replays on them? I dunno, something like adverts to be shown too..‽
Of course they will!!!
wow, the saidis will really do anything besides acctually helping the world.
why should they?
however I partially agree, at least they should think more about the far future of their nation
The brilliance of B1M bringing the best updates as usual 😊
6:16 “… uses motives”… it’s “motifs”, - pronounced moh-teefs’ [emphasis on 2nd syllable]
One more totally wasted world cup. Like Qatar, a world cup totally without heart and soul. Place the world cup in places people actually like football... Who is going to use these stadiums? No fans want to go there.
Very enjoyable as always 👍
However I will believe these tenders when I see them built, which I doubt will happen.
I like how Neom stadium looks like BlueLock
Its just a game. Why go spend huge amount of money for a sports of all things. Just use open field for sport and give all the money to poor people like me.
Majority of poor people in developing countries don't have: Piped water, drainage, sewers, refuse collection, welfare payments (for basic food shelter and clothing), paved sidewalks, roads, street lighting, clean public schools access, clean public hospitals access, access to impartial justice. Providing all of those things will create millions of real jobs in addition to lifting the country out of hovel status. That's what our governments should be focused upon, not hugely expensive luxury projects. Just my take, no offense intended towards anyone.
