The Line is a proposed linear city that is part of the Neom project, a futuristic megacity being built in Saudi Arabia. The Line was announced by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in January 2021 and is designed to revolutionize urban living.

The Line will be 170 kilometers long and 200 meters wide, with two colossal 500-meter-tall buildings running parallel. It will be home to 9 million people and will be powered entirely by renewable energy.

The city is designed with people's health and well-being in mind. All residents will have access to green spaces, schools, healthcare facilities, and entertainment within a five-minute walk. A high-speed rail system will connect the two ends of the city in just 20 minutes.

The Line is still under construction, but progress is being made rapidly. The excavation site for the primary structure is well underway, and key infrastructure, such as roads, offices, and logistics hubs, is 20% complete. Neom Community 1, a nearby community that will support the construction of The Line, is now fully functional, with housing, education, worship, and even a Starbucks.

The Line has attracted global attention for its ambitious vision and innovative design. However, it has also faced criticism, particularly over concerns about its sustainability and human rights impact.

The Line is projected to have a carbon footprint equivalent to over four times the UK's annual emissions. This is due to the massive amount of energy required to construct and operate the city. The city's developers have pledged to use renewable energy sources, but some experts question whether this will be enough to offset the city's carbon emissions.

The Line is being built in a region that has a history of human rights abuses. The Saudi government has been accused of forcibly displacing indigenous people to make way for the Neom project. There have also been reports of labor rights abuses on the construction site.

The Line is a controversial project, but it has the potential to revolutionize urban living. The city's innovative design and focus on sustainability and well-being make it a vision for the future. However, the city's developers need to address the concerns about sustainability and human rights in order to ensure that The Line is a success.
