As long as they are true to their word on sustaining, expanding and enhancing nature, animal and plant life in this area, this is Man's next 'wonder of the world' !! Transforming normally harsh and unliveable areas into future 'green' cities like this will be an example to what we can achieve with vision, innovation, dedication and a whole lot of money (derived from oil basically) and set the goal of all nations accordingly. I lived and worked in the ME regions for more than 20 years and as well as understanding the Arab culture and mentality, I knew with all their wealth gained from oil, they could with the right leadership and guidance, build things that others could never do. From watching Dubai change so drastically, we will now witness history-changing development in NEOM. Well done !!

Wow this totally looks like a great and awesome idea!

Berkshire-Hathaway

This project would need at least 1.5 billion tons of concrete, generating at least 1 billion tons of CO2. That's 3 times as much CO2 as entire France during 3 years. So much for "saving the planet" or something. The energy quantity to provide 9 million people with 5 m3 of clean desalinized water is anywhere betwen 400GWh and 800GWh. This also doesn't count the energy required for climatization under a scorching sun.

It would also destroy the fragile desertic ecosystem, by cutting animals territory. The mirrors would kill millions of birds every year, and make life completely impossible by heating the soild to deadly temperatures in a band of over hundreds of meters around the walls.
The walls would have to sustain the sand stroms and the sand would accumulate.
It's likely that there would be some very strong winds tunneling between the two walls (like in NYC, just far worse).

The logistics are lunatics. The underground train would have to run at 510 km/h to do the 170 km in 20mn, which doesn't exist (in open air, a couple of records, not in tunnels), and that's without any stop, but a train that doesn't stop is useless, so we already know this number is complete BS. Good luck getting rid of sewage in a linear city as well, will they need to be transported by truck to the nearest treatment station ?

The cost of the project is severely underestimated and $500BN is nowhere near the real cost which would be several trillions $. But it doesn't really matter, because who wants to live in this ? If you are super rich you'll live near the sun, while if you are poor, you will almost never see the sun, you will be at the very bottom of this dystopian project. Your only way out will be the east end, which may very well be blocked if the government says so. The government will also be in control of your water, electricity, and basically your liberty. So it's a giant open air prison. And just to see the outside, you will have to take the elevator to go to the top. But will you have the right to go to the top ? Will it be privatized by the billionnaires ? Noone knows, but the entire project allows that. In a normal city, anyone can leave, not here.

A city of 9 million people needs to have relations with the rest of the world if it is to be sustainable economically. Here it will have to be almost completely self sustainable. The only example in the world we have is North Korea and we know how well it's going.

Long story short : this project is complete bullshit. Saudi Arabia shoud spend their money on creating gardens and improving their existing cities, and spending it in research instead of insane vanity projects.
