Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman announced plans to develop the line in NEOM on Monday.
According to the Saudi Press Agency, the prince said that the design will clarify the internal structure of the multi-layered city.
It addresses the problems of traditional flat horizontal cities, and achieves harmony between urban development and nature conservation.

His Highness Prince Mohammed launched the idea and the initial vision for the city that redefines the concept of urban development and what the cities of the future should look like in January 2021.
According to the Crown Prince, they strive in NEOM to be at the forefront of providing new and innovative solutions, and today they are determined to implement the idea of ”build to the top”.
Through a team led by NEOM and a group of the brightest minds,
during last Monday’s announcement, Prince Mohammed said,
this line will achieve “ideal living” and address the urgent challenges facing humanity.
NEOM the most important projects of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 2030
He said: “NEOM is one of the most important projects of the Saudi Vision 2030,
and the line is a confirmation of our firm commitment to presenting a project to the whole world.
NEOM is a place for those who dream of a better tomorrow.”
The Line‘s designs also embody what urban communities will look like in the future in an environment free of roads, cars and emissions.
The project, which introduces a new approach to urban design,
will run on 100% renewable energy and prioritize people’s health.
The idea of layering the city vertically, giving people the ability to move seamlessly in three dimensions to reach them is a concept referred to as Zero Gravity Urbanism.
According to a design plan revealed on Monday, The Line will have an external mirror façade,
which will give the chassis its own unique character.
Even its small footprint allows it to blend in with nature,
while the interior will be designed to create “extraordinary experiences and magical moments”.
The line will eventually accommodate 9 million residents and will be built on an area of 34 square kilometers,
which is unheard of when compared to other cities of similar capacity.
The line will be constructed by a team of world-renowned architects, led by NEOM,
to develop this revolutionary concept of the city of the future.
The perfect climate inside the building will also ensure that, all year round,
residents can enjoy the surrounding nature while walking around.
Residents will also be able to access all facilities at The Line within a five-minute walk.
تقدم مدينة "#ذا_لاين" نهجاً جديداً لتصميم المدن ،والذي يركز على مفهوم "انعدام الجاذبية"، حيث يعني ذلك توزيع وبناء مكونات المدينة على شكل طبقات عمودية مما يتيح للناس إمكانية التحرك في الاتجاهات الثلاثة (إلى الأعلى، وإلى الأسفل، وكذلك بشكل أفقي في كل جانب.#واس pic.twitter.com/NAL7ybpdY2

First.. the top building protects the earth’s surface from the heat of solar radiation
and store it… While for the day anchored the heat of the reflected radiation will increase no matter what
The treatments of glass that retain radiation energy and thus increase the temperature of
the surrounding water, unlike the increase in the phenomenon of drought.
Second.. Horizontal afforestation maintains the moisture of the building and stimulates the
rise of groundwater in the desert.. Vertical afforestation of Neom will lose its relationship
with the soil and the natural sea of the soil during the night period as a continental result
Desert areas
Thirdly, the nuclear configuration of urbanization facilitates trips to access services
and communication between Amran and the neighborhoods of the city, while the linear and
vertical construction will be controlled by the movement of the high-speed train,
which is exposed to any crises or problems. In addition to the psychological factor of
some humans in fear of heights
Fourth.. the succession of humans in ages is the reconstruction of the desert
The vast. and not to bring or imitate solutions to countries where there is no land, which
forces them to build vertically.even China is backing this vertical style of
construction, it has begun to retreat from the exaggeration in the heights of buildings, while
placing social considerations within the construction decisions
The Saudi and Arab people are not socially suitable for vertical housing, so make
sure it is kept private…unless it is NEOM for foreigners like the Dubai
towers. However, it will affect the ecological and desert climes necessary
to complete the cycle of life in the Sahara desert, which existed for a cosmic
function of human life. Earth, we must respect the
constants of nature so that we do not approach climatic and cosmic changes that perish
their sake Forgetting humans are living creatures and parasites that live with them for
