overwhelming and outstanding project undertaken in Saudi Arabia to build world’s largest building started to walk Photographs and videos taken at the venue, Line They have already started and are progressing at a good pace. Idea that seems strange at first and means being left alone in a beautiful setting power point, it has already spread to the real world. It is a mega structure located in the heart of the Saudi desert. 9 million people half a kilometer high and 170 kilometers long.
The title of Pharaoh falls short of describing the dimensions of The Line building-city. Neom is another piece that will unify the city.After the land of deserts was chosen to host the 2029 Asian Winter Games, it’s the big project promoted by the Saudi regime that will also include a large ski slope, as described in this link.
In fact, this megastructure It will consist of a kind of huge wall neatly lined up with a mirror.It will cross the desert for 170 kilometers and reach the shores of the Red Sea. Its height would be comparable to that of the Empire State Building. The width will be modest: about 200 meters.
Inside that wall Residents will live in an isolated, large wooded area, lakes and all kinds of facilities and services in an air-conditioned environment.. Living in the desert, you won’t really notice any of its challenges, as if you were living on a space base.
A backhoe and truck herd work relentlessly in the Saudi Arabian desert to reduce the land on which The Line will occupy. You can see the state of the works a few days ago in this video:
Proponents of the project emphasize the purely ecological nature of the project as the entire structure will run on 100% renewable energy and all transportation within the city will be zero emissions. To go from one end of this 170 kilometer block to the other, The high-speed train journey will take approximately 20 minutes.. The project states that services, shops and other centers that residents need to walk to will always be about a five-minute walk away.
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who is also chairman of the board of directors of Neom, envisions this huge city as an indicator of the sustainable future his country is dedicated to. “New and creative solutions are needed” To confront “the livability and environmental crises facing cities on our planet,” the Prince said.
this website Apart from showing amazing images of what will be inside The Line, it constantly follows the development of the project over time with information on all its innovations.
Where will the water come from?
One of the biggest challenges facing not just The Line mega-building but the entire city of Neom, including the ski resort, will be where to get as much water as its residents and public infrastructure will need.
Construction of large water treatment plantsThe one that will carry water from the Red Sea to the neighborhood will be the solution. And although the project predicts that these desalination plants will be powered by electricity from renewable sources, because some experts doubt that the technology is advanced enough to run such large solar-powered stations. Otherwise, the CO2 emissions required to generate the electricity needed to desalinate this amount of water can be very significant.
In fact, emissions from The construction of buildings (machinery, transport, material supply, etc.) will already generate large emissions. of CO2 We will see if they will be compensated in the future by the sustainability mechanisms announced by the Saudi government.
In addition to environmental concerns, the project exposes the lack of freedoms and inadequate human rights that characterize this country. Some organizations reported that some residents in the area were forcibly evicted from their homes to carry out work, and also, they were to be sentenced to death earlier this October.
