#NEOM aka “#TheLine”, #SaudiArabia will take 10 years to build, 105-mile-long linear city for 9 million people. No cars. Super-high-speed train to connect end-to-end in 20 minutes. Mirrored exterior. 500 meters tall. My thoughts follow... #Future
2/ #CitiesSkylines #STEM Don't get me wrong. I love technology and was fascinated by giant space stations in the sky as a kid. But... The first problem I see is there's no existing anchor town or organic reason for #NEOM to exist where it is to be built.
3/ #Ghosts People don't like moving 1,000 miles to an empty city where there is no one and especially no one they already know. The city is actually a series of modules / mini-cities. I'd build one of these around a metro stop in Riyadh and see if anyone moves in.

Habt ihr auch die Nachricht über diese geplante saudische Stadt gesehen? #NEOM - #TheLine soll 170km lang und 500 Meter hoch werden und nach außen verspiegelt sein. Bis 2045 sollen dort einmal 9 Millionen Menschen leben. Was als Utopie angepriesen wird, ist eine Dystopie. Image
Schon 2030 sollen in Neom angeblich 1 Million Menschen leben, ganz ohne Autos und Emissionen. Es soll kein Zuhause für Menschen aus Saudi Arabien werden, sondern für die hypermobilen Beschäftigten aus Start-Ups und Big Tech, eine Mischung aus Singapore und Silicon Valley. Image
Als Sonderwirtschaftszone gedacht für die transnationale kapitalistische Klasse, die durch ein autokratisches Regime beschützt dort residieren soll.
