NEW DELHI: Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman unveiled his latest vision for Saudi Arabia’s future beyond oil: A city with no cars, roads or carbon emissions.
The 170 kilometer-long (106 mile-long) development called “The Line” will be part of the $500 billion project called “Neom,” the crown prince said in a televised speech on Sunday. Construction is planned to start in the first quarter.
A news release described The Line as a walkable “belt of hyper-connected future communities, without cars and roads and built around nature.” It said the city would have 1 million residents and create 380,000 jobs by 2030. The infrastructure will cost $100 billion to $200 billion, the crown prince said.
