Recent drone footage has captured the exciting launch of construction for The Line, an ambitious sci-fi megacity project that stretches an impressive 170 kilometers. This innovative urban development is designed to allow residents to live and work in an environment where they never have to leave their immediate vicinity.
The Line garnered significant attention this summer for its sleek, futuristic design featuring a mirrored façade that reflects the surrounding landscape. This self-contained megalopolis will rise to a height of 500 meters and span 200 meters in width, all while maintaining a length of 170 kilometers. The vision behind The Line is not just about aesthetics; it aims to redefine urban living by integrating nature and advanced technology.
In the recently uploaded YouTube video, produced by the Saudi Arabian company Ot Sky, viewers can witness the massive excavation process as construction begins. The footage showcases a bustling scene in the desert, with construction vehicles and equipment at work, all set against an upbeat musical backdrop that adds to the sense of excitement surrounding the project.
NEOM, the company spearheading this initiative, was established by the Saudi Arabian government to transform the nation through cutting-edge design, engineering, and sustainability practices. According to NEOM, The Line will feature multiple neighborhoods that can be traversed in just five minutes. Additionally, the city will facilitate swift transportation across its length in approximately 20 minutes and maintain a consistently comfortable micro-climate for its residents.
