Saudi about to build a futuristic city called 'THE LINE' and it's :wow:

[old pig]

let me know when they actually build it

 

[MikelArteta]

MBS MBS

 

[Brolic]

How could they afford this? Didn’t they have to stop building those artificial islands because they ran out of money?

 

[IIVI]

Imagine being able to travel through 9 million people in 20 minutes

Defense system about to look like Vampire Hunter D:


Architecture around the world is getting insane. Our shyt looks like it peaked in the 80's/90's here.

Meanwhile, China got futuristic cities that are looking like anime.

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

nikkas dikk eat them current African slave owning piexes of shyt

 

[69 others]

All they doing is making western consultants richer.

You're thinking of Dubai - UAE?

 

[sayyestothis]

Yeah America about to look like Japan in the 00s with this stuff...

 

[Supa cat]

Architect in the future going look crazy

This.

I swear there have been like a hundred of these projects/ventures announced over the last 2 decades in the Gulf.

Especially in Saudi. I lived there temporarily and I heard about new cities that were supposed to be built in the North, New cities being built on the coast of the red sea, New "districts" in Jeddah, and Hot ass Riyadh, Revamping Mecca and Medina, etc..

Bottom line is, new buildings and infrastructure does get built, but it's always waaaaaay behind schedule, the Saudi bureaucracy moves at snails pace so that slows things down further, meanwhile the western developers are collecting checks

It's actually a decent idea, they're taking that dirty oil money and trying to build something sustainable and eco-friendly, if this works it could be used as a model for other cities/infrastructure. They coud license out the technology/companies to other countries.

It's essentially solving the urban sprawl problem, infrastructure problem, construction, pollution, global warming and conservation issue in one.

The key part is the train/transporation system. They should have multiple lines so that people can travel across the 'Line' without having to deal with too many stops.

 

[chineebai]

Pretty cool. I doubt most people want to live in a place like that. Probably get cooped up n shyt.

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

At this point these cats are basically doing what everybody did in 6th grade playing make believe about stuff that will never exist

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Interesting…

Probably not in out lifetime tho
