The Line

NEOM

Project Year: 2024

The Line is a conceptual linear smart city in Saudi Arabia in NEOM, Tabuk Province, housed in a single building, that is designed to have no cars, streets or carbon emissions. The original plans called for the city to span 170 kilometers (110 mi) at a height of 500 m (1,600 ft.) and a width of 200 meters (660 ft.) sized to accommodate a population of 9 million (25% of Saudi Arabia’s 2022 population of 35.5 million). The Line would have an entirely glass mirror exterior. The plan calls for all basic services to be within a five-minute walking distance.
