The Line: Saudi Arabia's futuristic megacity

Saudi Arabia is building a futuristic megacity, called “The Line”. It could house London's population, on land 46 times smaller! #planet a #saudiarabia #theline

Honestly I call this the super prison.

[Macreno]

I rather go to my village and live happily with chickens, goats, dogs, cats etc..than to live in artificial nonsense

[harrytheprince]

building a city in a line is certifiably insane

[shokaibahmad]

If only this money was used to help people in real need of it

[NotTooStraight]

F-ing never. Not only will the environmental impact be worse, the city wouldn’t function. Go watch literal anyone pick apart this design, it has no legs to stand on!

[markussokk]

Sounds like those walled cities in dystopian sci-fi movies. Even the name fits the bill.
"The Line". In cinemas in Nov 2030.

"Mommy, what's outside of the line?"

[mcgheeomar]

Its interesting how the world treats indigenous peoples worldwide.

[michaeldeierhoi]

This seems like nothing more than an enticement for the rich. Because it is the most ridiculous and ineffcient design immaginable!!

[gimigimi]

No money on earth will pay me to go there, even for a visit

[crazydragy]

Imagine if that dictator had a shred of decency and intelect and used all those recourses to make something useful instead of diging up the biggest landfill yet

[SaleemSaiyad-togz]

Dictator should have used that money to help starving neighbors

[GrafWattenburg]

Seems like an incredibly impracticable layout? Theres a reason for why most cities developed as blobs

[sandmanjono]

When you have SO much money and don’t know what the f**k to do with it 🙄🙄🙄

[IMatchoNation]

Why is this short implying anything other than this being a ridiculous nightmare project? Its problems don't start and end with human rights abuses.

[me_amitsingh]

Even though it seems like a stupid idea, the UN being concerned over native population's displacement is funny af!

[PaulADAigle]

No one seems to contemplate the effects on the species. It is a wall that prevents any creature (including man) from crossing it. Not to mention it will be exclusionary and prevent anyone from moving in without jumping through hoops, which will probably mean the poor.

[yes]

Like they didn't have more vital problems that could be solved with the money

[Piku_gram]

Sandstorm gonna scratch that glass, made it from clear to opaque in like three years

[rattus]

Imagine if they planned futuristic infrastructure, such as plumbed sewage.
