Have you ever wondered if there would be a life like Ready Player One? A place where there are houses stacked on top of one another?. A place where people can escape reality and enjoy a fictional world? You may not have to look any further. The Line may not have the game, but it definitely has the living style. The Line is an immaculate design that can house nine million residents without sacrificing sustainability and environmental benefits.
The design idea came from Neom, a designated area that the Prince of Saudi Arabia set aside to make The Line when he saw polluted cities around the world and wanted to make a change. The high amounts of pollution, the staggering number of problems, and the astonishing amount of time individuals spend commuting were polluting the cities. In major cities and suburbs, people spend years commuting from one place to another, and most are frustrated by transportation and congestion. Cities like New York and Los Angeles require a large amount of material and land, which results in high amounts of pollution and wildlife extinctions. Because of this, Mohammad bin Salman wanted to draw a line, so he could find a way to have an eco-friendly and sustainable place for people to live.
The Line is shown to be many different living quarters boxed on top. With the width of 200 meters and height of 500 meters, and length of 170 meters, it should easily hold nine million residents. The Line will also hold various parks, malls, schools, and other essentials that people need. The design helps Neom implicate tons of plant life like trees, forests and greenery, which will help clean the air. With this project, Neom will retain the natural beauty of Saudi Arabia and keep iteasily accessible to residents. Because The Line is located to the north of the Red Sea, the water will also be eco-friendly. By using an effective desalination technique, the Line can provide clean and safe water and use the salt for other purposes. The main revolutionary idea of The Line is that you can get from one side to another in only 20 minutes. The Line has inbuilt metro systems and transportation that can go wherever you like. With this, Neom doesn’t require the need of roads and cars, and will eliminate the unnecessary time wasted in commuting.
The impeccable art, architecture and design that Neom has put in shows what potential The Line has. From the greenery to sustainability, The Line shows how we can develop a suburb and still save the surrounding wildlife, ecosystem, and keep a healthy lifestyle.
So, what do you think? Should Neom make The Line? Do you think the concept will be the new city of the future?
