Saudi Arabia's Mega City that Runs Itself: NEOM

Welcome to NEOM: Saudi Arabia’s futuristic next mega-city. Today this video focuses on the city of NEOM, Saudi Arabia and the distinct regions within it: The Line, Oxagon, and Trojena. The Line is NEOM’s centerpiece: a vertical 3D city that is self-sufficient and conserves as much space as humanly possible. It can also host up to 9 million people, and it'll be a city of the future. Wow. Oxagon is NEOM’s industrial city: run on artificial intelligence and autonomous vehicles. Pretty cool, huh? Finally, Trojena: The Mountains of NEOM. Trojena is a luxury mountain city that will host skiing, relaxation, entertainment, and the whole place surrounds a giant man-made lake called The Vault. NEOM has had a lot of controversy surrounding it for a multitude of reasons. Stick around to the end of the video to learn why.

i cant think of a worse idea for a city. good job city designers you truly made something unique

[lol]

Just build a normal city that people want to live in for once.

A big long city with deserts on both sides. Great setting for an outcast survival thriller movie.

my problem is with the line, what would happen during heavy winds ? it has a large vertical surface area, if the wind moves perpendicular to the surface, along the line, I feel like the wind can break the line.

I live in Saudi Arabia and this is just insane

[unamiko]

The news of it is trending all over the media. And I am personally interested in, not only visiting it when it is finished, but also in following its progress as it is being built. It is rare to witness something major as that happening under our eyes.

I really hope it works but from an environmentally friendly point of view, and also práctical, I think a linear spiral with a high center point would make more sense. With radial roads like half orange.

Drones noise is terrible, but they could fly outside city and flow into soundproof tunnels. Also natural light is important, can be improved with mirror tubes similar to ventilation system, without full light spectrum people will get sick.

[yubijutsu]

there's a lot if environmental concerns in the project but I hope they find solutions. I would love to see this in real life.

[ruaoconnor]

This is incredible. I hope it gets built and I get to see it.

I bet a trilion dollar this will never be made. Usually a city is made by Architects and City planners and not a VFX team.

But credit to the VFX team, they did do a good job.

Great channel thank you so much i subscribed

[rajmanish]

Respect your effort bro
U r doing a great work
And I want to work with you full time

[remkoburger]

Great video! Next year you'll have 500K subs :)

[samiiromaar]

It lost me in the line! It would make a great game or metaverse space though

[corey]

This will never come to fruition imo. There's a reason cities aren't designed this way, and it has too many logistical issues to even count.

They can sure try, but this wreaks of one of those "problems" that Elon Musk tries to solve with something more convoluted than what already exists.

[susisblusis]

Wouldn't the glass from the Line reflecting the sun onto the sand be a problem? Just curious

[kylexy]

you have got a new subscriber from rwanda east africa

[Prevordan]

Holy shit just watched the video and then saw it only has 13k views, and you only have ~280 subs? Thought I was watching a video from a big channel with a few hundred thousand subs, very well done

What happens if the rail is affected and blocks the railway tracks... something like the ship that blocked the Suez canal... transportation will be a disaster.... helipads..and flying car's...for the future to abate.. rail transport dysfunction..maybe
