The first phase of the LINE will be

designboom readers familiar with our
previous coverage of The LINE, the otherworldly city
under construction in
NEOM,
Saudi Arabia, will be interested to learn of the project’s significant
progress. This ambitious undertaking, once a futuristic vision, seems
to be becoming a reality. A newly released video offers a glimpse into
the project’s current stage. As Denis Hickey, Chief Development
Officer of The LINE, says, ‘The energy within
Saudi Arabia at the moment is incredible.’ The team’s
enthusiasm is fueled by the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 and the
transformative potential of NEOM itself, explaining that the
mega-city’s first phase is firmly on track for completion by 2030.
NEOM documents world’s biggest earthworks
operation
Should the in-progress development take shape as
NEOM developers expect, the scale of The LINE will be staggering. The
team notes that the project represents the world’s biggest earthworks
operation, with millions of cubic meters of earth and water being
moved each week. This relentless activity, as Denis Hickey explains,
is laying the foundation, both literally and figuratively, for a city
unlike any other.
NEOM developers describe The LINE as a beacon of sustainability and
innovation which will offer solutions to the pressing urban challenges
faced globally. They plan for a zero-emission future with an
‘unrivaled quality of life in balance with nature conservation,
sustainability, and economic prosperity.’ As Mr. Hickey concludes, ‘We
think there’s an opportunity to create a better model for a city to
interact with the landscape and nature and the environment.’ The team
claims that The LINE — a mega-city built from scratch — will become a
blueprint for sustainable urban development, and that it will inspire
and guiding the world towards a brighter future.
