In a surprising turn of events, Saudi Arabia has refuted reports that its futuristic megacity project, The Line, would be significantly scaled back. Earlier reports suggested a dramatic downsizing from the initially proposed 105-mile sprawl to a mere 1.5-mile stretch.
Mega-city myth? No! The Line holds firm.
Faisal Al Ibrahim, a Saudi minister, recently clarified that the project will retain its grand vision. The Line touted as a revolution in urban living, will carve a 105-mile path through the Saudi desert, boasting mirrored skyscrapers and fostering a sustainable, tech-driven way of life.
While Saudi officials remain steadfast in their commitment to The Line’s original scope, questions linger about the feasibility of such an undertaking. Building a city of this scale in a harsh desert environment presents immense logistical and engineering challenges.
