A network of smart cities
Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Chairman of NEOM, has promised to build a network of smart cities where there will be no cars or roads. This network of smart cities is called The Line, due to its organization of highly connected future communities. The Line forms part of NEOM, a $500 billion project announced in October 2017.
According to previous statements by the Crown Prince, the project offers high-speed transportation solutions, facilitating mobility, along with autonomous vehicles, and urban planning that ensures that essential facilities, such as schools and medical clinics, are within a five-minute walk: schools and medical clinics are no more than a five-minute walk away, and one million people are supposed to live within The Line, which stretches 170 kilometers and runs on 100% clean energy.
The city focuses on nature, with a pedestrian layer on the surface and two additional layers, for infrastructure and transportation, hidden underneath. In addition, organizers claim that artificial intelligence will be able to monitor the city and use data and predictive models to discover ways to improve daily life. One of the world's most complex and challenging infrastructure projects, construction is set to begin this quarter and is part of Saudi Vision 2030, a project designed to create 380,000 jobs and 180 billion Saudi riyals ($48 billion) in GDP by 2030.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
