Hardly a month goes by without Saudi Arabia announcing an extraordinary construction project. Behind the increasingly newsworthy Neom showcase, there are also other oversized constructions. XXL amusement park, ultra-futuristic stadium, airport, giant cube or, more recently, the announcement of a 2 kilometer-high skyscraper - the major projects are numerous.
These constructions cover a wide range of fields, but all have one thing in common: a desire for grandeur. Ever taller, ever bigger, ever more beautiful, Saudi Arabia wants to make its mark with buildings that are sure to put the country in the record books.
Behind this frenzy and the billions of dollars spent is also the desire to diversify the Saudi economy. Made rich by oil, Saudi Arabia remains dependent on this commodity, which drives the majority of its economy. A state of affairs that could change with these new constructions. However, they still need to be able to get off the ground, as we'll see in this video, with the scaling-down of The Line.
From a park dedicated to the Dragon Ball saga to the world's next tallest building, I take you today to the heart of the Saudi monarchy, for a review of these megaprojects that may well be the country's showcase in the future.

The lengths of the tower in the world in Dubai are 200 floors and more towers have 140 floors and hotels as well as 160 floors, all of their towers are the same as China, why is there a long tower in America, the use of hotels, offices and restaurants

If you think Saudi Arabia doesn’t get rain bc it’s a desert then you’re completely wrong and respectfully stupid. Because: 1- Saudi Arabia isn’t 100% desert, it’s a peninsula with geographical diversity. 2- Even deserts get so much rain, educate yourself.

There are many giant projects, but in construction and tourism, there is the Red Sea Islands project, the Amaala project, the Sindalah project, the Trojena project, and the Al-Souda Company project, and in Riyadh: the Green Riyadh project, King Salman Park, the closed King Abdullah Park, Riyadh Art, and the Sports Track project, and in the city of Jeddah there are large projects such as: the Central Project. Jeddah, the Jeddah Tower project, the project to develop the historic city of Jeddah, the project to develop informal residential neighborhoods in the city of Jeddah, the MARAFY project, etc.

At 6:45, it says the line will house 300,000 people in 2.4km. Using that ratio, they should be able to fit 9,000,000 residents in only 72km (multiply both quantities by 30). So, why are they making it 170km? Couldn't they fit more than 9,000,000 people?

Oh God anyone but Norman+Foster or Frank Gehry for that matter. We don't need more carbuncle architecture why not hire a Saudi Arabian? I'm sure you guys have very skilled architects who'd put to shame any London firm's second-hand version of Middle-Eastern inpired "modern" architecture that will probably manage to insult as much as it would impress. I'm sure a local architecture would do the aesthetics of the tower far more justice 😊 I know persians aren't Arabs but they are Middle-East and predominantly Islamic-that Iranian architecture who made beautiful the prerevolution Shah tower--if that talent of a relative is any indication, I know whatever a local Middle-Eastern architecture design will no doubt be far more pleasing and appropriate to the local environment❤
