The project
NEOM City
by marium asif
The Future Of
Urban Living
A cognitive city stretching across 170
kilometers, from the epic mountains of NEOM
across inspirational desert valleys to the
beautiful Red Sea. A mirrored architectural
masterpiece towering 500 meters above sea
level, but a land-saving 200 meters wide. THE
LINE redefines the concept of urban
development and what cities of the future will
look like.
"THE LINE will tackle the challenges facing humanity in urban life
today and will shine a light on alternative ways to live. We
cannot ignore the livability and environmental crises facing our
world’s cities, and NEOM is at the forefront of delivering new and
imaginative solutions to address these issues. NEOM is leading a
team of the brightest minds in architecture, engineering and
construction to make the idea of building upwards a reality."
-His Royal Highness King Salman
No roads, cars, or emissions; it will run on 100% renewable
energy, and 95% of land will be preserved for nature.
People's health and well-being will be prioritized over
transportation and infrastructure, unlike traditional cities.
THE LINE
THE LINE will eventually accommodate 9 million people and
will be built on a footprint of just 34 square kilometers. This
will mean a reduced infrastructure footprint, creating never-
before-seen efficiencies in city functions. The ideal climate
all-year-round will ensure that residents can enjoy the
surrounding nature. Residents will also have access to all
daily essentials within a five-minute walk, in addition to
high-speed rail – with an end-to-end transit of 20 minutes.
Unparalleled Access To Nature
The Line
The progressive design offers immediate and
uninterrupted access to nature within a two-minute
walk – through its diverse open spaces, suspended
on multiple levels. Equitable access to pristine views
of the surrounding natural landscape, mountains
and sky – for all – avoiding urban sprawl thanks to a
reduced infrastructure footprint.
Clean Air
The city will be zero- including the operations
carbon, due to the of its industries. The
elimination of integration of nature
unecessary and open spaces
infrastructure, cars and throughout will serve an
roads. It will operate on important role in
100% renewable energy , enhancing air quality
More Time to Spend with Loved Ones
All daily essentials will be accessible within a
five-minute walk and an efficient public
transport network will offer a rapid end-to-
end journey. Automated services will be
powered by artificial intelligence. Amenities in
close proximity will mean residents see family
and friends often through spontaneous
encounters.
A Perfect Climate All Year-round
To ensure the establishment of microclimatic
spaces, the environment has been carefully
designed to allow for an optimal balance of
sunlight, shade and natural ventilation.
Furthermore, the green open spaces
throughout the city will further enhance the
comfort for those living, working and visiting
here

World Class Quality Class
Where the best and the brightest live. A place of unparalleled social and
economic experimentation – without pollution and traffic – coupled with
world-class preventative healthcare, so people will live longer.
A place to prototype business
Built around humans, not technology. A cognitive city that predicts and
reacts to what we need, not the other way round. Zero-gravity living will
mean a higher-density footprint creates a richer human experience, and
new business opportunities – plus large-scale job creation.
Environmental Solution To Urbanism
Our zero-car environment is part of a 100% sustainable transport
system – with zero pollution and zero wait time. Reduced
commutes will create more time for leisure. Not paying for expenses
like car insurance, fuel and parking will mean higher disposable
incomes for citizens.
A CommunityInventing The Future
Advanced tech planning logistics and modular construction will
enable efficient delivery of THE LINE. And the community will live
close to, and in harmony with, nature – with 95% of land being
protected for nature. Our vertical garden city will mean you are
always only two mins from nature.
