Saudi Arabia will contribute $500 billion from its sovereign wealth fund into 9 key investment areas: energy and water, biotech, mobility, food, technological and digital sciences, advanced manufacturing, media, and entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\n The Line, which is only a part of Neom will be 106 miles long, 1640 feet tall and 660 feet wide. At that height, it will become the 12th tallest building in the world, and by far the longest. It \u201cwill have an outer mirror facade that will provide its unique character and allow even its small footprint to blend with nature, while the interior will be built to create extraordinary experiences and magical moments,” said the Saudi Arabian government. The structure will have residential, retail and leisure areas as well as schools and parks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\n The different functions will be stacked in an arrangement described by the city’s creators as Zero Gravity Urbanism. A transportation system running the length of the megastructure will connect both ends of the city within 20 minutes. Vehicles driven by artificial intelligence (AI); there will be a metro line and high-speed freight transportation underground. The AI-driven transportation will be made possible by massive data harnessing. The Line’s developers said its communities will be “cognitive” and powered by AI, which will “continuously be learning predictive ways to make life easier. “An estimated 90 per cent of available data will be harnessed to enhance infrastructure capabilities far beyond the 1 per cent typically utilized in existing smart cities.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bin Salman said: “By 2050, commute durations will double. By 2050, one billion people will have to relocate due to rising CO2 emissions and sea levels. 90 per cent of people breathe polluted air. “Why should we sacrifice nature for the sake of development? Why should seven million people die every year because of pollution? Why should we lose one million people every year due to traffic accidents?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
