Күн бұрын

The Line is an astonishing smart linear city proposed to be built within Saudi Arabia's Neom Megacity. This city of the future looks like something straight out of a sci-fi movie. Saudi Arabia's crown prince Mohammed Bin Salman announced the plan for this smart city as part of a rebrand plan called Saudi Vision 2030, to reshape the kingdom's economy. Join us today, as we explore this extraordinary upcoming megaproject that will eclipse every other megacity construction in the world.

If construction started 3 years ago, and they want to have a 9-million-inhabitants-city in 8 years, certainly this must be the worlds largest, most impressive construction site right now. Why do we get to see absolutely nothing of that? Lets see what happened to another of Saudi-Arabias big planned city: The King Abdullah Economic City. Intended population: 2.000.000 Actual population: 7.000 So, yeah, I'm not holding my breath.

The kingdom has reached a level of stupidity that I myself cant even process 🤣🤣🤣. They could have done what Singapore did. Using their huge reserves to build up industries and calling expatriates to work there and build up a competitive Pharmaceutical, Aerospace, Electronics industries. But they instead took the easy way out by building white elephant projects that nobody can afford to buy. Lol.

Who said construction started 3 years ago?? Your information is incorrect and no one talked about it and Designing, reviewing and scrutinizing designs took 5 years by the end of 2017. It is not a building for a fast food restaurant, but rather a building that is the most advanced in the world. As for the work on the ground it began Just 2 weeks ago and this was(( announced )) less than a month ago and as a Saudi I saw the beginning of work on the ground already started The city of NEOM began construction work at the end of 2019 And it is true the most impressive construction site right now.

This project shows brilliantly how absolut power in the hands of a few takes megalomaniac dimensions in a globalised world. This is not about nature, CO2 emissions, it is about absolut control of people living in such places. A city that depends on technical weather manipulation, gigantic mirror walls on both sides, artificial ventilation, cannot but destroy more of the environment than it does any good. How will the wind circulate in this region? How will animal and human migration cope with such a unsurmountable wall, a cut through the natural life line of thousands of species? What impact will the heat concentration have on the surrounding environment coming from the mirrored sunlight? Once finished, what employment will be existing there? An industrial site in such a city would be quite unthinkable. Would be there only office jobs? When people are fed up with the socially engineered and controlled life and want to break out, where would they demonstrate, where would they go? In The gigantic commercial centers or in the leisure and attraction parks? Where would the rubbish and human waste go? Would that be sold to underdeveloped poor countries? What psychological impact would this have on the human mind, being raised in a sterile environment even more cut off from true nature as in other big mega cities like New York? How dangerous the upbringing in a denaturalised universe can be on a human mind can be seen in such ambitious inhuman projects. All natural and human aspects are disregarded for the sake of gain and profit. If you grow up in a palace where nature is imported and tamed, where people are mere resources, servants or puppets, then this seems to be the ideal solution. But nature and human beings do not quite work like this, and this experiment, a cruel one, will fail some time after completion. It is an expression of a globalist neoliberal ideology that is as nature negating like transhumanism and genderism. It is an expression of a psychopathy in people that have lost their touch of reality by their accumulated wealth and unlimited power. These people and their projects are a great danger to nature: to the environment, insects, animals and mankind.

There's a reason they have a series on Netflix called "Black Mirror"... Black Mirrors are used in Black Magic practice to scry (divine) into the future. We use them everyday - cellphones, computers, TV... that polished black surface is representative of one and yes, you use it to see into the future and the past. The series "Black Mirror" is about a dystopian future for all humanity to be merged with machines and controlled as such. Welcome to the Age of Aquarius... dystopian future on the rise! Saudi has the first citizen robot that has been granted free reign to create whatever kind of robots "she" wants in the privacy of her own lab. Named "Sophia" after the divine Mother Earth, Goddess Sophia from the Nag Hammadi. Then the 100% artificial intelligence city NEOM is being built after they commandeered a tiny town... Can we see that something dystopian is quite possibly on the rise? I mean, let's call things as they are... the divine principles of Yin and Yang have been WAAAY off balance in Saudi Arabia, since they've suppressed the women for so long and covered them in all black, for how long? Black is Saturn's color, and you guys should learn some stuff about Saturnian Cults that run the world like Cult of the Black Cube. Yin (female principle) is represented as black, yes, but to make the women wear it in the DESERT? To hide them from society and control and dominate them like serfs or servants after they gave birth and raised all the men who rule over them... where's the honor in that? More recently they were actually granted permission to DRIVE and attend stadium events. Honestly, this suppression has had an effect on their world that has kept them in a desert, because EARTH is the divine feminine represented by the female human and the SUN/light/Air/Fire principle is masculine, hence the HOT DESERT where they all reside. Women/Earth are the nurturing/life aspect of the world - without women there would be no men and vice versa, but the Age of science is changing all of that. Now, there will be birthing pods that give birth to babies without a mother (see EctoLife)... is anyone noticing the predictive programming shown in movies like the Matrix, yet? Babies NEED A REAL MOTHER to feel and sense what she senses & learn while in the womb, that way the baby will FEEL EMOTIONS. What kind of society will be brought forward after babies are raised synthetically by robots? No empathy, compassion, or human emotions? The usurpers of our world also have had devices for a long time that peer into the future: Chronoscope, Chronovisor... yeah, they don't tell many people, because we could probably figure out how to make the things ourselves and see what they're up to. They even had a device called the Tepaphone that could kill someone from a distance. All that tech uses crystals, radionics and psionics. That's the wave of my future - natural abilities instead of all this technocratic electronic junk. Hermetics is the way to go. At least my stuff won't break down, require batteries, allow for hackers, to be stolen, or turn against me.

To anyone who sees this comment. I have seen a city like this before. It's actually from two video games and a movie. They are the movie Elysium. The video game Halo. And the game Mass Effect Andromeda. Although these places are all in space, the principle of a linear city was displayed. I recommend taking a look at "The Citadel" in Mass Effect Andromeda. Also the movie Alita Battle Angel depicts a similar looking city.

Second, hyperloop 🤣. Third, having a reflective wall like that will concentrate the suns rays just like a magnifying glass on anything near the structure. This is science fiction...emphasis on the fiction part.

The Jupiter Project by Jacques Fresco has the best ideas for such futuristic cities. This kinds of projects are the future of humanity. Europe cut off 80% of his ancient forests just to build cities, roads and agricultural fields. Humanity has to build and live in this kind of cities, to let again the nature develop by himself and recreate the necessary equilibrium.

What they are building is a massive sail!! What’s the point of making it tall? If it’s about 500 metres tall, why not just turn it on its side so it’s just a line that is 500 metres wide but not a skyscraper? Same space used but without having to support all that weight at a great height. These people just think if they keep throwing money at something it will succeed. Not all ideas work like that!

This is an experiment for living on other planets, particularly Mars. The communities don’t need to live in one continuous straight line but hug the escarpments of the many craters and volcanic planes. Cities can easily be linear, not clustered particularly when there is efficient transport. I applaud the vision behind Neom not just because it’s revolutionary but because this may well be the way we live in the future both her on earth and extraterrestrial. I so want it to succeed.

I don't know if I necessarily love the whole walled "mirror" city part of the concept, and perhaps that should change if the project does go forward... but the basic idea of a "line" city built around a central high-speed railway is a compelling idea, IMO. In places where rail transit lines exist, urban centers tend to crop up around them anyway, or the rail-line is implemented to go from city center to city center in a metropolitan area. This would just be going whole-hog into that practice right off the bat and designing the city center entirely around the rail line. Maybe just make the design a little more normal in terms of the buildings that are built around the line. And let it spread out a LITTLE more to the sides in a type of semi-suburb sorta style. Stuff like that could make the concept more practical and attractive to more demographics.

@@larrychatfield go watch Adam somethings video about it, he explains why this specifically is a bad/unfeasible idea 1. it is technically possible with the newest high speed trains, however that is only if you don’t take any stops in between the ends into account. Considering a scale of length like this, you will plan in at least a few stops. The simple necessity of accelerating a train several times just shows the buzzword presentation of this city. TECHNICALLY you can travel from one to the other end in 20 minutes, but in actuality, there won’t be such a line running as it would leave out the rest of the city. 2. and even if, this leads to another problem: per the design of a literal line, you have limited place for parallel tracks, making this direct train line a waste of capacity better used in short-distance cargo transport. 3. in case a train breaks down, the whole train line will be unusable, as it has to be removed from it, losing out on capacity (that’s why Elon musks hyperloop concept is also bullshit, there’s no alternatives for cargo once a line is temporarily unusable) Now, comparing this to a city with radiating train network from a city center, you can 1. allow for more than enough stops while still having a high throughput AND feasible travel times as several trains can be operated independently from each other as they drive in different directions as well as 2. still having a solid cargo system which can operate too while 3. having replacement routes which might cause temporary strain on the train lines and delay, but never completely halts the cargo transport. The argument of „but this city will have no cars“ in itself pointless as they could have designed a better radial city with this crazy amount of money while excluding or limiting roads to the outer parts of the city. Our cities could also be less crowded with cars if we only pushed back on roads from cities and instead build more public transport/bicycle pathways + more greenery. (Some cities have already removed some highways/high traffic roads with quite some success, actually)

So KSA hired the marketing agency of Fyre Festival? If this line looks like a prison to you then read further. This is what exactly happens when a client hires a 3d designer and a marketing firm as first 2 employees. And never hired a single engineer, consultant, analysts and industry experts. What happens if there is a fire? How to evacuate people if there is a war/terror attacks? Looks like recently KSA got netflix or amazon prime and started watching some sci-fi movies and dreaming to build one with all buzz words "0 carbon emission", AI (you keep showing a robot arm while saying AI what does it really mean?..),.... Estimated time to build 50 years. But it will emit multiple century worth of carbon while building it and hoping for 0% after completion. What would be the aerodynamic impact while sand storm? Looks like this Line project is setup to fail, MBS will blame the west for calling environmental issues and tribe issues and abondon line and still build the other part of this project as a lavish resort for their royal family alone? No idea. If you are ready to spend billions then definitely spend it to existing cities to enhance sewage, drinking water, more schools/health care for people. I guess whole Arabian peninsula needs these basics done correctly. Also invest in real change making startups, renewable energy innovations. With sensible / logic minded advisers Arabian rulers can do real good stuff, rather than these fancy buildings.

The thing with the Great Pyramids is that their structure is much more simple in terms of holding itself up. The Line on the other hand has to contend with serious lateral stresses that it'll take much more engineering just to fight the forces acting against it in comparison to a square-based pyramid, let alone making it habitable in the first place. But yeah, you're right. There's a whole slew of issues beyond its construction and engineering.
