THE FUTURE OF URBAN LIVING

A cognitive city stretching across 170 kilometers, from the epic mountains of NEOM across inspirational desert valleys to the beautiful Red Sea. A mirrored architectural masterpiece towering 500 meters above sea level, but a land-saving 200 meters wide. THE LINE redefines the concept of urban development and what cities of the future will look like.

[IMG: The Line About]

No roads, cars or emissions, it will run on 100% renewable energy and 95% of land will be preserved for nature. People's health and wellbeing will be prioritized over transportation and infrastructure, unlike traditional cities.

THE LINE will eventually accommodate 9 million people and will be built on a footprint of just 34 square kilometers. This will mean a reduced infrastructure footprint, creating never-before-seen efficiencies in city functions. The ideal climate all-year-round will ensure that residents can enjoy the surrounding nature. Residents will also have access to all daily essentials within a five-minute walk, in addition to high-speed rail – with an end-to-end transit of 20 minutes.

A REVOLUTION IN CIVILIZATION

[IMG: UNPARALLELED ACCESS TO NATURE]

UNPARALLELED ACCESS TO NATURE

Our progressive design offers immediate and uninterrupted access to nature within a two-minute walk – through its diverse open spaces, suspended on multiple levels. Equitable access to pristine views of the surrounding natural landscape, mountains and sky – for all – avoiding urban sprawl thanks to a reduced infrastructure footprint.

[IMG: CLEAN AIR FOR EVERYONE]

CLEAN AIR FOR EVERYONE

The city will be zero-carbon, due to the elimination of unecessary infrastructure, cars and roads. It will operate on 100% renewable energy, including the operations of its industries. The integration of nature and open spaces throughout will serve an important role in enhancing air quality.

[IMG: MORE TIME TO SPEND WITH LOVED ONES]

MORE TIME TO SPEND WITH LOVED ONES

All daily essentials will be accessible within a five-minute walk and an efficient public transport network will offer a rapid end-to-end journey. Automated services will be powered by artificial intelligence. Amenities in close proximity will mean residents see family and friends often through spontaneous encounters.

[IMG: A PERFECT CLIMATE ALL-YEAR-ROUND]

A PERFECT CLIMATE ALL-YEAR-ROUND

To ensure the establishment of microclimatic spaces, the environment has been carefully designed to allow for an optimal balance of sunlight, shade and natural ventilation. Furthermore, the green open spaces throughout the city will further enhance the comfort for those living, working and visiting here.

"THE LINE will tackle the challenges facing humanity in urban life today and will shine a light on alternative ways to live. We cannot ignore the livability and environmental crises facing our world’s cities, and NEOM is at the forefront of delivering new and imaginative solutions to address these issues. NEOM is leading a team of the brightest minds in architecture, engineering and construction to make the idea of building upwards a reality."

Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Chairman of the NEOM Company Board of Directors

WORLD-CLASS QUALITY OF LIFE

Where the best and the brightest live. A place of unparalleled social and economic experimentation – without pollution and traffic – coupled with world-class preventative healthcare, so people will live longer.

[IMG: WORLD-CLASS QUALITY OF LIFE]

[H2]
A PLACE TO PROTOTYPE BUSINESSES

Built around humans, not technology. A cognitive city that predicts and reacts to what we need, not the other way round. Zero-gravity living will mean a higher-density footprint creates a richer human experience, and new business opportunities – plus large-scale job creation.

[IMG: A PLACE TO PROTOTYPE BUSINESSES]

[H2]
ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTION TO URBANISM

Our zero-car environment is part of a 100% sustainable transport system – with zero pollution and zero wait time. Reduced commutes will create more time for leisure. Not paying for expenses like car insurance, fuel and parking will mean higher disposable incomes for citizens.

[IMG: ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTION TO URBANISM]

[H2]
A COMMUNITY INVENTING THE FUTURE

Advanced tech planning logistics and modular construction will enable efficient delivery of THE LINE. And the community will live close to, and in harmony with, nature – with 95% of land being protected for nature. Our vertical garden city will mean you are always only two mins from nature.

Innovation-driven construction

Propelling the construction industry into the future through an unprecedented scale of capital projects development.

[IMG: Design & Construction]

About

[H2]
Leveraging construction technology

From infrastructure delivery to safeguarding worker welfare, NEOM is optimizing development by applying construction technology through a discover-incubate-deploy approach across the value chain.

Addressing Global Challenges

[H2]
Minimizing Environmental Impact

The construction industry accounts for roughly 37-40% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, making it one of the largest single contributors to climate change. NEOM aims to reduce its environmental impact by fostering the adoption of sustainable and durable materials, implementing circular systems and deploying advanced construction technologies.

Addressing Global Challenges

[H2]
Carbon Abatement

Traditional industries, like cement production, account for around 8% of global carbon emissions, posing a significant challenge to achieving carbon neutrality goals. NEOM aims to minimize the industry's carbon footprint through Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs) to reduce Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), advanced materials, systems and technologies.

[H2]
OUR FOCUS AREAS

Our key focus areas for advanced construction technologies include robotics, automation, material science, and engineering innovations that align with the size and scale of NEOM’s ambitions and Saudi Vision 2030.
