The Saudi Arabian government has published the images of the 500 metre-tall linear city called The Line which will be constructed around The Red Sea as a part of Neom.&nbsp;<img src="https://images.aposto.com/2022/8/4/1663854988078.jpeg" style="display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; width: 100%; max-width: 550px; border-style: none; position: relative; cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; box-sizing: border-box;" width="550" ratio="1.79" fr-original-style="display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; width: 100%; max-width: 550px;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable"> Expected to stretch for 170 kilometres in northwest Saudi Arabia, the megastructure will have mirrored facades with a height of 500 metres and a width of only 200 metres.Having been planned as a part of Neom, The Line was designed as a dramatic alternative for traditional cities that typically radiate from a centre point.

At 500 metres, it will be the 12th tallest building in the world. When done and dusted, The Line is supposed to accommodate 9 million people with dwelling, shopping and entertainment areas. In addition, it will include schools and parks. &nbsp;Different functions will be superimposed with an arrangement named Zero Gravity Urbanism by the creators of the city. As shown in the images, the parks will be connected to one another with multiple bridges, and they will be located between two linear blocks which are planned to be closed with more green areas.To achieve a unique appearance, the megastructure will be fully covered with mirrored facades. A transportation system that will stretch across the megastructure has been designed to connect the two ends of the city in 20 minutes. According to the Saudi Arabian government, the structure will be completely empowered by renewable energy and it will create a sustainable alternative for traditional cities.Having come into sight for the first time last year, The Line makes up a part of the Neom enterprise which is located in northwest Saudi Arabia. &nbsp;Neom is a part of the Saudi Arabian vision for 2030, which aims at the diversification of the economy, and being less dependent on oil.<img src="https://images.aposto.com/2022/8/4/1663855185726.jpeg" style="display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; width: 100%; max-width: 550px; border-style: none; position: relative; cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; box-sizing: border-box;" width="550" ratio="0.83" fr-original-style="display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; width: 100%; max-width: 550px;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable">However, besides being far from traditional urbanisation methods, I am not sure how realistic it is to have such an abstract city plan which is highly disconnected from climate, human habits and nature. &nbsp;

At 500 metres, The Line will be the 12th tallest building in the world. What message does urbanisation becoming more and more artificial get across to us?
