The plan to create the largest structure in the world has already been prepared and, despite the fact that it will not be ready for another 50 years, after several weeks of work, new photos of the construction have been shown. This is the Line, a mega-project to create a city that stretches a straight line through the desert in Saudi Arabia. A community of five million people will make a fully completed home.
The new photos were taken by photographer Aegidius Pendleton, who did his work above. The line, which will cost one billion dollars, will consist of two parallel buildings 500 meters high, 200 meters wide and 120 kilometers long connected by walkways that run along the coastline, mountains and desert, according to hundreds of pages of secret planning documents that outline the specific idea.
The construction is part of a series of high-end projects that make up Neom, a development envisioned by Prince Mohammed to diversify the kingdom’s economy away from oil reliance.
Neom is being built in the Tabuk province of northwestern Arabia and is expected to incorporate urban technology and serve as a tourist destination. It is situated to the north of the Red Sea, to the east of Egypt across the Gulf of Aqaba and to the south of Jordan.
But architects and economists have questioned its viability because Neom’s plan also aims to be a utopian city without cars, roads or any kind of emissions that harm the planet. In addition, in the desert will be found “aerotropolis”, suburbs built around a futuristic airport that will connect the new city with much of the rest of the world in a few hours.
Despite the criticism, the images indicate that the work is now available online. Drone footage shows builders working in the early stages of the project, with trucks and other heavy equipment in the desert, while many bulldozers are seen marking a large line in the ground that will be the framework on which the building will be built. about the future
