Michio Kaku realised there's more money in this than physics
He features prominently on the Neom website as well.
😂😂
Didn't expect Michio Kaku here too, he is like everywhere XD
😂😂😂😂😂 seeing him in construction clothes was hilarious
His string theory was a failure so he had to find a new grift.
"I'm sold!" - Michio Kaku
Yes, we know.
Since I first heard of this, my main question has been, "why a line, and not another shape?" Other shapes could fulfill the density design, but greatly decrease the round-trip factor. A circle, triangle, grid, or even a Celtic Knot could achieve the same basic goals of density and relative ease of access to amenities while greatly decreasing the footprint and time it takes for a subway train to return to its origin location after reaching its last stop.
Ya but doesn't sound as cool lol
Cause they use cocaine
yes, only another shape make sense. the line is meant to fail, it will fail
other shape gonna cannibalize the view for people at center/ escape if anything gone wrong. While it is about density, it also about avoiding congestion (you know human behavior).
to have more land
in the future when the line gets finished:
“Mom, what’s outside the walls?”
“Monsters, titans.”
So much hype thrown around for concept arts and designs. How are you gonna fix inequality? Inviting only the wealthy to live on the line so everyone there is automatically rich?
I guess this is the intention...😢
More lines.😅
As the project LINE planed for 170 Km long, initially they must build a complete mockup of around 1-5 km of line to prove the world that the line is practically possible to stay, transport & move around
Exactly and should not be that.tall.and from there they can continue if they find it feasible.
1.7km I also need to consider when he can delivery the sample project ¿
This is what will happen. Only the first 5 kilos will be built and fully equipped. And then it is expanded longitudinally as needed
BMA
I am baffled to understand how its difficult to commute in a land!!!
@@ws3454r u sure ?
It will be interesting to see a city not made out of brick and steel but giant mirrors and buzzwords
I literally see concrete and steel...
You hate Saudi this much you just ridicule for sake of ridicule at this point. Just say you hate the government of SA instead. Lol
This is a prison ffs. Wake the f**k up......
Yes mirrors which will hurt your eyes looking st it from afar, which probably will burn you by the suns reflection and which will destroy all the ecology nature and life in the area
😂😂
People living there will be like living in a open Jail 😂
Really allows complete control of the citizens in the line.
I kinda wana be under complete control 🥵
Believe me you are already under complete control.. you just don't feel it.
@@KGF-zf2qj that's so deep, but I was referring specifically to the level of control this type of city allows. So deep...
@@KGF-zf2qj We are. but The Line is really "Complete" lol.
If the goverment want to close the gate, it's done.
oh this is on a whole other level to a point even the chinese CCP will be jealous @@KGF-zf2qj
I legit thought this was a teaser for Apple TV’s next dystopian sci fi drama.
Due to bad weather, I was trapped on a cruise ship for several days and the ship was not able to go to port. I couldn't wait to get off that ship. I canNOT imagine living like this forever.
you wont you could not afford it anyway so who cares
Your not in a prison just a location that externally is a line but internally it’s 3d. You’re allowed to leave the space and return 🙄
People live like packed rats in densley polulated cities. I coudn't even like in Toronto let alone this place. But interesting idea, maybe it will change my mind if done properly. Hard to say, I'm not overly optimistic, but want to see where this goes.
When I heard this first, I remembered the book, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, in a way that this approach actually creates a new community in the world, and separates some of us from others. If you ask why, just think about who is gonna live here? you? me? or the people who make more money than others. It is a perfect project in a way, but also very bad for the rest. It is exactly like the name of the book; Brave. New. World. So today's cities will transform into the outer place of the "line."
or its just how normally human react to new inventions , talkin about how the rich and poor live in a different area, well thats not a new things
the line will have 9 m people is it a lot and after that neom will do more project.
Hunger games
We live in the age of the Internet, everything is connected, this city “the line”meant to be a Tourist city, not closed one.
Godzilla would love wrecking the shit out of this.
7:43 "Our challenges on THE LINE are not to eliminate the bad stuff because that's already not there." Let's see how this will turn out. Do they really think problems disappear when you just ignore them in the planning?
The thought of being crammed in such a confined space, no matter how convenient everything is, is sickening to me. All I can imagine in an aesthetically pleasing 1984
Crammed in
Its as suspicious as it's get
200 wide is practically a who complex and it's road integrated
I dont want to live in a box, I want to see the sky in a panoramic view, I want to travel on the road in my 1970 Chevelle and see the land and the trees and life all around me. This concept is very nice for some people but not for all.
The Line is quite ambitious, to say the least. If they can manage to pull this off it's going to be a game changer for urban planning around the entire planet. I hope they can execute on their ambitious architectural vision and brings their plans to fruition in a way that's welcoming, sustainable, and conducive to communal living.
Is not them is the A.I 100%
@@AnaCata-vf4zt Explain.
How is the line intend to address any natural disaster?
@@Amanacare we don't get natural disasters here in Saudi Arabia 😅
@@Amanacare It's Saudi Arabia, they don't get much other than a sand storm.
When I think of Saudi Arabia, I’m definitely thinking this is not someplace I ever want to be in the future.
I wonder
-what is the cost of construction per square meters and the ROI period and
The maintenance costs on this project .
-Where do lower income and service people live on such a project ?
- will such a project be possible and sustainable without the enormous initial investment needed for it ?
-will there be a social class and status division like any normal city ?
-will people eventually abandon this city to live in a normal city ?
-Will there be normal cites built along sides of it to serve this giant system ?
And many other practical and social questions that comes to my mind as an expat architect who lived and practiced in Dubai for the past 43 years and still curious . Maybe I ask AI ?
So many architects dreamed of their city of the future, where they could revolutionize human behavior: Le Corbusier, Lloyd Wright, BIG, and so on.... and they all failed.
we cant have a city where people wont be able to show their richness ;D
@@Cathroyuic - Why do you think Lloyd Wright failed?
I thought he was well regarded in his field. His homes are highly sought after.
Excellent questions, all of which are of course being sidestepped in this video ... I think the economic and social issues might even be a bigger risk to this project than the financial or technological ones ...
"What The Line does is that it creates an equality" ... How? Why? Is that guaranteed to happen? What if it doesn't?
how do they do maintenance on a building currend buildings have a life of around 50 years so lets say that a building some how gets 100 years old and needs to be rebuild how will they do that inside of the line? (I mean a full rebuild of the building so first make it to scraps than create a new structure)
I'm interested in discovering what the apartments look like, how the people are seen to interact and how sunlight is incorporated into the project and the cost to live there. This will be interesting to watch.
Exactly
About the sun, ask Bill Gates. There's a reason why he's creating technology to control the rays of the sun.
it will probably be similar to living in a Terraformed space module similar to what Musk hints at doing. will definitely be interesting to see how the first inhabitants of The Line go
I really wait for content for that exactly. I do not mind to watch youtube bloggers just to take a glimpse of what is like living there and see how they incorporate the sun into the architectural design.
Godzilla would love wrecking the shit out of this.
Such an abundance of grandiloquent expressions and convoluted phrases are employed, as to cloak one's arrogance, boastfulness, and intoxication with power over people and their destinies in a veneer of nobility.
Hope the builders have safe working conditions and benefits.
They do👌🏼
They won't. Why should it be better that the previous projects?!
Why you expect they will be in bad condition. People working there are mostly from our Bangladesh, India Pakistan. Our people feels motivated to go there because there is money. Also a lot of people that known to me has went there and nobody complained about it. Not even in the Qatar world cup.
Those news you get about human rights are just hypocrisy of western media. They just want to demean Islam in front of the world because the religion is rapidly growing.
This is very ambitious, if this works is definitely going to change people perspective of living in my point of view. If it works out i am definitely going to visit to see it myself. I am a graphic designer always loving what people ideas are. I feel that if this city works out i see the cities in the west dying.
the cities in the West are of all sorts... not everybody will want to live in a total surveillance dictatorship. The project is extremely fascinating and I would love to visit or stay a little but it could really go super creepy super fast as all movements will be on cameras with face recognition, all communications will also be controlled by the princes... all it takes is for one leader to go full shariah low and OMG lol
In Saudi , no one will take this on, dont worry !
How the fuck does a 200m wide city going to be sustainable? 🤣
Sure, I live in one of those 'western cities' and it is a thousand years old not different from many other places in my country.
If that line in the sand should really be built and if it then gladly happens to survive its first decade without a humanitarian catastrophe and without major riots among its inhabitants, then I will definitely have to ask myself whether it still makes any sense to be at home in a place and a community that has shaped the lives of countless generations of it's inhabitants, that has seen so many human beings fulfil their fate within its humble surroundings. And every single one of them has contributed a bit to growth and continuous rejuvination of my town and has nourished the spirit of this beautiful place that I call home.
Well, if the line should turn out a success while I'm still around, I guess I will be very, very happy to see that. And I will be admiring the ingenuity and the perseverance and the vision of the architects, the builders and the inhabitants of that place.
And at the same time I will still feel at home and validated in my own home town. A place can lose its spirit and it can die, that's true. But that does not happen because another place is rising. People do have meaningful and fulfilled lives in multiple places regardless of the success of any of the other locations. That's a simple truth and if you believe otherwise then maybe you might want to think again.
Lmao. I’m happy to live in the outskirts and live an ACTUAL sustainable life. Those before us did it. And we will continue to do so. At least our children will will know the difference between the blue sky then looking up at a ceiling lmao.
This looks like a scene out of a dystopian movie
I love the concept-my concern is money. This could create a greater gap between ppl of great wealth and ppl of no wealth. I feel like it serves the rich only. I am hoping I am I am thinking wrong
But isn't it a basic human need to go outside, to breathe fresh air, to interact with nature? The line feels like hell. A panopticon style prison that inhabitants become completely dependent upon so they can't fend for themselves - like something from E.M Forster's "The Machine Stops".
A 500m tall, 170km long MIRROR in the desert.
Think about that for one second.
Saudis dreams have no end 🇸🇦
sadly the world is dying and no one will ever visit neom i doubt is gonna be finished before humanity collapses , the future of the middle east are 50 or 60 degrees celsius, basically if people are gonna live there they are gonna live all their live inside building like prisioners
@@rioluna6058Well, instead of living in a normal and small building under the heat of 50, you can't go out to the yard.
Or you can live inside a giant building and the temperature outside is moderate.
@@wellytms4713 still thats inside a building. I live in one of the most beautiful countries in the World (Costa rica). Personally I wouldnt live my life inside a building, i visit amaizing places like waterfalls and mountains every single week living inside abuilding is just sad. But hey to each their own if the saudíes want to live all their lifes inside a giant prison is their life not mine 😬
@@rioluna6058 It's not a prison. There are trains as well as car parking on the outskirts of the city. You can go out and go to neighboring cities and regions, take a walk outside, and then return to your home. It is a city like any other, but in a different shape
Saudis nightmares has no ends.
I'm currently watching and my first thought in seeing some of the design is wondering what this experience will feel like for those personalities out here of us who are more of a wanderlust spirits who like to explore big broad things and places and also working that way via well traveling. I'll continue watching and see what else comes up but I am curious about this aspect.
If this thing ever comes to fruition, it won't be for poor people
I think its cool and cant wait to visit, and then fly home to my farm and never visit again.
From a social and economic standpoint, I am wondering how The Line will run its government and the price of real estate. There are so many questions that I'm wondering. But these two are the prominent ones.
How are they going to select which people are getting the privilege to live there? What's an apartment going to cost? Logistics, how's it gonna work? The more you think about it, the more questions, the less answers ... really wondering if there's any chance of this going anywhere at all :)
With a high probability, this city will turn into a tourist attraction. Very few Saudis will buy a home to live here. The property will be bought as a second property, for holidays and for renting out.
Very ambitious i remember one time David Goggins said "always set goals that you think you can not achieve" i hope this new type of thinking will stop wars in the world.
i really think that Neom is The Key to achieve civilization type 1 im 28 yo and hopefully in my lifetime. ✨👑🇸🇦👌🏼
This Structure wil be the platform of full house Track and Trace, Mouse trap.

I have a bad feeling about this Spaceship structure. Nothing is natural about this, no Bio flowing lines, human qube
@@andrekemp5059 sounds like a Christian bigot 🤡

its very similar like a industry revolution happen around the world, but without damaging ecosystem of ours and we are proud of that, congrats from India
how is a line instead of a circle not damaging the environments?
@@schloops8473 its negligible in magnitude of what west has produced in industry Revolution and benefitting from slave trading and using as labour
The West ended slavery. Notably, it ended the Muslim slave trade which was the worse of the slave trade as they ripped off the genitals of their slaves with only 40% surviving the operation. Let me repeat that... the West had to smash Muslim slave traders, especially the ones linked to the different royal families, into the ground. And the industrial revolution is what allows the Line to even be a concept.@@anayatullahatif7418
What? Your are stupid!
Didn't expect Michio Kaku to jump on to this
This has really got my intention, I find the whole thing very inspiring. I am curious what would happen in a Pandemic with such close quarters?
Inequality is the only thing to stop our progress and I am glad this living civilization is amazing and every country must take the leap towards the new pattern of infrastructure development.
Instead of excavating the entire length of the project at once, it would be prudent for the kingdom to begin by constructing smaller single-digit sections of 800x200x500. By doing so, we can assess the success and feasibility of these sections before proceeding with the full-fledged construction of 'The Line.' This step-by-step approach will allow us to mitigate risks and make informed decisions based on the performance of each section.
agree with you but they will do it in stages like u said so the first stage will end in 2030, 460k people will be the max number for the first stage. all project will end in 2045
They’re not smart enough for that, this is going to be a disaster.

Go and waste more ressources.
So excited to see Michio is joining!! 🎉
The beautiful enforcement of laws on the line will be amazing
Women in Saudi: "Yeah! we can drive!"
The Line: "We don't use cars anymore"
from broad to narrow area. I think it will make life more stressful. we need more space and not too compact
I am just wondering how the workers are going to be treated and if also the process of building will be as sustainable as after finishing it like they are saying
How do you get sunlight to the bottom floors of a 500mtr high rectangle?. The ground floors will be very dark unless illuminated by electrcity and that wont solve for zero greenery on the lower floors. The top floors will be a massive premium. Also wonder how they will deal with airdraft issues.
The question here, is it mildly affordable? If it's not, then it's just another Dubai or Beverly Hills.
It’s Elysium in fucking Saudi Arabia.
The most important and fundamental design decisions is to have a 3 dimensional city! As most cities are 2 dimensional with elevated 3D structures in the form of buildings. The idea is to design a cube that can provide quick access to maximum distance x density! The idea is great and worth the experiment. But the architects forgot the importance of space dimensions. A city that is isolated from environment can have negative impact on human physiology.
I'm on board with every other factors except for sunlight. How will the buildings or apartments near ground level get sunlight consider the fact that you can't have windows on wall's side.
Look, every "new" project that is "life changing" will always bring with it potential risks, we can't just stay afraid of it, humans need to push themselves through it, development and invention is essential for humanity, every problem have a solution, also the pros of this project is more than the cons.
More pros than cons?
Are your stupid?
Please give good salary to the workers working hard for fulfilling your dream project,
We are 👍🏼
I’m just wondering how people will build buildings. If its all planned what happens when units have to be demolished? Or when someone wants to make a bigger building.
That's a good question hahaha, Will they keep extending the line or make more lines
I imagine this is like a ship that doesn't moves. There is a limited quantity of people, houses, stores, etc..
@@Lionsparkttv then that would mean the economic activity potential of the city is much more limited than a typical city
you will probably own nothing in at a personal level. At the most you will lease. Imagine Singapore but with stricter rules
@@phreakydad good one, haven't even thought of Singapore, you're right it would probably be something like singapore
I can't wait to see the first slum.
The absolute and ultimate challenge to this "dream" world project is the reality that every millionaire family requires up to 15 low paid wage earners to maintain day to day services so is part of the plan to house these 30,000,000 servants, cooks, cleaners, transport drivers etc. to stack them 20 to a room in a subterranean location where they might get a glimpse of sunlight on their only half day off a week? Dreams are for dreamers, I'm looking forward to see how many foreign intelligent investors are going to participate given the Saudi's track record with mega projects.
The only positive reality I see here is that they will never run out of raw and principal ingredient for all that glass!
This was more of a commercial than something informative...They bring in scientist to talk enthusiasticly about nothing. How about adressing some possible issues ? Surveillance? Migrating birds? Water consumption and waste disposal ? And also what does it mean these days to be "sustainable" ? My thoughts are that these new trend where people believe that technology is gonna solve all our ecological problems without any compromises to our comfort and consumption are actually just making people hopeful but offer no permanent solution or vision for the future. I like the "no cars" idea...but i would like to see the calculations on watering 170km of gardens in the desert heat with desalinated water taken from red sea pumped into various heights. Also i m curious about the impact this will have on the red sea ecosystem.
How much sunshine will get into this community as compared to walking out in the streets of what exist in present cities? I don't think this will fail. I think it could actually work and where there are no cars and people begin to walk more, people can be come healthy or regain or improve their health. My take is that this is a major experiment to look at how to conserve land based on population growth. Organize living in more controlled space. I see this systematically growing to other countries as land will be reclaimed and these cities built. A better town planning system to use land sparingly as population grows. There is still time and expansion for population expansion, but this is a timely moment to begin planning.
How much sun rays will be frying every organism around it. There's something fishy about this project in hiding something we don't know... $1 trillion for and artificial border?
I like the concept. But I still have concerns about how wild animals move through the line .. are they going to be separated by the line ?
Wild animals? You ever been to a desert?
@@DUBDUB511 no ... But i Saw them in Line's own RUclips video. And what I know is that desert still has wild animals, not an empty lifeless place
@adicahya critters and small animals do not need to migrate
More than 30% of the distance of Saudi Arabia is protected areas where construction is not carried out.
And the percentage will increase in the future.
Thank you so much! Lets see
I’ll need a lot of lines before I start liking this idea.
The first phase of the line project will end in 2030
If the line becomes right, then it’s a milestone in humanity. An evolution from a cave to a tent to a box building and now a new definition!
A millstone of stupidity of humanity.
Yes, a prison!
Like many I am interested in the possibilities. Like many I came here expecting some genuine discussion as to the "why, how, when" of this project. I didn't realize until 2/3 through the video that this is just a commercial for it.
In another Life of mine, I would dream to live by " The Line ", but it remains only a dream 'cause I am not rich!
You can work there in any job and therefore you can live there 😉
I see the Future, I see the ambition, the drive, the vision. Insha'Allah this will be groundbreaking reality! A story is in the making and may we all live to see it become a reality!
@@Twiceonasundayevery city is man made. So is every city ungodly?
@armaanchowdhury1690 no, just that a line is fucking stupid, I mean any other shape would meet the basic needs this wants to do but better, a triangle or a circle with less carbon footprint.
What about if a part of the city gets bombed? Or something isn't kept up, if one part of the city falls down it risks other parts of the city to fall with it.
A line is so fucking idiotic
It will become a nightmare to transport everything along one line!!!
And where will the trucks go to transport all the poo?
@3:35 its a box. you cannot see outside..?
You can

Nice piece, highly educating
"I think what The Line does is that it creates an equality, which we've rarely seen before around the world, providing equal healthcare to all the residents that live on The Line, equal access to education, higher education..." - Salwa Alkhudairi, NEOM Senior Architect & Urban Planner
How?
Equality? Really? How???
@@T0MT0Mmmmymy thoughts exactly.
How you cope with natural disasters like EARTHQUAKE or Plane Crash or Floods or Tsunami or Hurricanes or Glass Crash?
We have no natural disasters here in Saudi Arabia 😅
Draw horizontal line 2 cms across and 5 cms height, imagine built up areas either side of the lines how exactly will daylight get into the areas of this space, if you want to live in artificial light most of the time it will be perfect for you.
I wonder how like the society will be in the line - how will the government work, law enforcement etc. i love the idea of the line but i feel like in such an isolated place it could be hard to deviate from the general beliefs of the area. If anyone knows what the plans are for this please let me know!
The government will work by royal decree. Law enforcement will work by royal decree, fundamentalist religious dictates, revenge, stamping out dissent, public executions, and factoring in who's buying whom and for how much. And the women will stay forcibly veiled and excluded from public life, never having a glimmer of hope that could ever be anything more than a man's property.
Layers of imprisonment built on a bedrock or savagery and corruption. That what a place like this would look like. It's nowhere you and I could live without dying a little inside every day.
Excellent questions ... I doubt if they've already put much thought into that beyond the assertion (based on what?) that "it will create equality"
I wish you all the best for “THE LINE” project, a revolutionary and visionary urban living concept that will transform the desert into a sustainable and human-centric megacity. I am so excited to see this amazing project come to life and to visit it one day after it is done. I hope you will enjoy the benefits of living in a zero-carbon, zero-waste and zero-emission city that runs on 100% renewable energy and preserves 95% of nature. I can’t wait to see how you will create new wonders for the world with “THE LINE” project!
how are they gonna mke live sustainable in the dessert when temperatures while only rise , this year el niño is in the pacific. the saudies will soon have 50c temperature meaning they will live all their lives inside bunkers... no thanks :) , the world is dying we all gonna suffer but the middle east is the first in line ,,(pund intended :))
This about renewable energy will be true when it is in operation, but building it can be an environmental crime:
And it is that to make this construction they will emit a quantity of emissions never seen in any other construction and the same with the waste, you will never be able to compensate for the destruction you will have done to the planet. The director of the Sydney School of the Environment estimated that its construction would cause 1.8 billion tonnes of CO2, equivalent to the annual emissions of approximately 782 million cars.
I think they're very aware of this, building this is probably their only choice at trying to make living there as sustainable as possible @@rioluna6058
This is a very ambitious project, with the potential to change the way we live. There are some questions that pop up in my mind though.
Since everything will be in walking distance, I'm really curious about how people with a physical disability would get around. Probably a simple answer though, but I haven't heard of any measurements taken for this group.
I'm also curious about the climate and nature. For example, it doesn't seem like an artificial park within the line, within this 'boxed off environment' would have the same effect on people as a natural park in open air would have. Would an artificial park within the line stimulate people as much to go 'outside' and be active? I'm also curious about weather. For example, if it would rain, how would the people at the bottom of the line notice? I agree it's not nice to walk in the rain, but complete absence of different types of weather, i wonder how that effects people. And will there be a passive way to ventilate the line on scorching hot days?
Also, safety and emergency services. Since there won't be room for cars, only public transport (as far as i'm aware). How will emergency services get to specific locations quickly and efficiently? I'm also curious about fire safety. In case of a fire, will there be enough precautions as to prevent quick and wildly spread fires? Since everything seems connected this looks like a serious recipe for disaster.
And whose lives will be sustainable here? This seems like a city only livable for those who are rich and wealthy. How does the average household, or even the less fortunate households fit into this living environment? Which jobs will still be available and which would fall away? It seems to me that a lot of construction jobs, other than maintenance work would fall away. Architects, urban planners, you name it. And what jobs would be created for this specific living environment?
I'd say civil engineering: environmental engineering and mechanical engineering: renewable energy and sustainability will rise and petroleum engineering will fall(nah it will probably be used to live in mars as Elon musk said), and for the other questions: everything will be automated and artificially made, this is my "theory" as a mechanical engineering student
I guess we should really talk about what "sustainable" actually is. This will be very interesting societal experiment.
All good and ambitious. Nice words spoken to sell the idea, but what challenges will nature present and what will be the implications. 🤔
I'm excited
this looks absolutely beautiful, i want to be able to visit this place in the future hopefully!
So you want to visit a broken city?
Will get one for sure
Looks fascinating. I'd love to be part of the team that are building this city. I'd love to have a work experience the of some kind. I'm a Realtor so it excites me. Would love if someone there gives me a shot at working there

Tambien siento que sería hermoso participar de algo así... Profesionales muy bien preparados, familias que sin duda los han visto esforzarse muchísimo y por eso ellos están Allí..👏👏👏😊😍❤️
To be s slave of the sheikh?
It's so easy to be critical of this future city at first glance, though once you get to see how it really looks inside, man am I going to definitely try visiting this place and maybe even try living in it in'Sha'Allah.
It is a high tech ant farm for peasants, so the technocrats can monitor & control your every move & purchase. They are selling it as positive. It is not.
Good luck. I will stay with my round cities where I actually can walk to places and dont have to travel for long hours
Here is the reality tho: neither you or anybody can afford to live here. Think of as a personified poverty “LINE” 🤣🤣🤣. No pun intended. But this place will serve as a gated community in a way for the ultra rich. Rich people love exclusivity. This isn’t for you or me brother.
So how hot is the ground outside of this thing gonna get the with sun reflecting off these giant mirrors all day? It’s like a magnifying glass over the earth
They still haven’t figured out how to avoid the line creating hot death zones for wild life. The outside is a mirror to bouncing the light away but it also creates a death zone where the heat is concentrated that will kill any wild small wildlife.
Can’t wait to buy apartment there it will be amazing
It will be a nightmare
This would be an innovative challenge for the next decades to come. But I would give this project a support for the progress of our civilization
This is a shitty progress.
I think the great challenge is how to maintain the sustainability of the line, will the people cooperative living daily lives in there?
Even kaku is confused & not feeling confident about it coz there is a huge risk involved & in all this politics either positive or negetive will be there coz its in our nature!
The tension or the stress of this huge projects are reflecting clear on their faces that how serious it is. So much pressure except kaku 🤫. He is like ok whatever will see !😊☝️🙏
he is paid well. he will keep quiet
@@beingdagur That's why I call this kind of people, poor soul for a reason sometimes! ☝️
Its honestly going to be a tourist attraction people from all over the world will go there to stay and shop and see what its all about as a vacation
Breathtaking
in your videos it has been looking to me as if the birds are gonna totally fly into this thing constantly and die. like with windows or mirrors. the thing looks from outside as if it was mirroring back.
It looks super fururistic!
Why don't you open source this project so that people from all over the world can introduce ideas and designs into it in a modular fashion?
And please finally give us a professional outsider analysis of the transportation systems of The Line. This project will rise and fall with the efficiency of its transportation systems.
The UK, China, Russia and France and other countries are. It is really a global plan for Dictatorship. To keep people in 1 centralized place To control the people. Like they were doing with covid. This will be on a global scale.
Because its the stupid idea of egocentric sheiks.
My question is if they can fit a football stadium or a concert arena in there? And how will they manage the noise pollution? I believe they can do it, just a matter of design and engineering.
I am guessing eventually, something will need to be built outside of the Line to accommodate large group activities, such as stadiums or airports.
and energy sources as the line will not be able to suffice to itself and then other suff and then you basically have the same concentric growth of cities we witnessed in the medieval times as they outgrew the walls :D @@MyMovie5858
Yeah i'm wondering about the noise pollution too, it would be hard to live in a place that sounded like a giant crowded mall 24/7
if you do the research, a football stadium will already fit in Neom, the Neom line isn't that thin... The stadium design would include sound-absorbing materials, allowing entertainment while protecting neighborhoods from disturbance.
Yes it is wide enough to accomodate either.
have they considered people who lived in the line at end to end? how far they should travel? and how about leisure time enjoying nature?
Por supuesto, está todo considerado
This is city of the future. No car inside and yet you can reach the other of end of the line in just few minutes. It's so fascinating indeed. I would suggest maybe a new way to reach the line effortlessly from the airport where tourists are coming. I'm so excited about this future.
Yes, transporting anything and everything along one line is very clever. There will be a huge traffic jam in the middle of the line!
You can reach the other end of almost any major city on this planet by public transport. And while it usually takes longer than a few minutes, it does not require any yet to be invented pie in the sky technology since the distances in a traditionally built city are much smaller.
I'd surely be interested to learn by what means you intend to travel the distance of 106 miles in just a few minutes.
>> "you can reach the other of end of the line in just few minutes. "
Well, THAT is a very stupid comment. Why would I want the other end of the Line? What's at the other end?
In real life I will want RANDOM PLACES within the line. So I won't be going from one rail station to another - I will be going from HOME TO A STATION and then by rail and then FROM A STATION TO MY DESTINATION. Two legs of the journey will be on foot. There will also be elevator usage at both ends. How far will I have to walk? The average distance between stations on the high speed line, THAT'S how far. And if that's a long way, then I will need to use the slower line as well.
I'm being optimistic when I guess the typical journey will need one hour.
There is a reason why cities are the way they are and lines have been tried before and are now "normal" cities.
Also, most cities have a reason to exist in their specific locations, usually something that entails access to resources...
lol
The beginning of The Line is right next to the Suez Canal bud...
@@JohnPritzlaff It's over 400 KM away lol
This is inventing the wheel for citys
No, it's forgetting the wheels for transporting.
My questions are: how does the line address housing and community inequality? Can a middle class family afford to live there comfortably? Can lower income people live there?! Where does the working class that's going to be working in the service industry there (cafes, groceries, supply chains, public transportation, educators, etc.) live to commute to the Line?
I live in Mile 112 N on the 30 floor. I am enjoying the view.
While concept of the Line is very fascinating, their yet many factors of which can lead to being a dystopian city. Whether the project works of not, the data gathered by this city could help further are research in sustainability.
I find it fascinating and an incredible project and I'm also sure it will go straight to becoming a surveillance nightmare with more and more horrible laws passed based on religion and paranoia from the princes
