Episode Transcription


The world is changing, and so are cities. A new project in Saudi Arabia, Neom, is leading the way. This city of the future promises advanced technology, sustainable living, and a fresh way to think about urban life. At the heart of Neom is The Line, a revolutionary city design that challenges everything we know about building communities.

What is Neom?

Neom is a massive development in northwest Saudi Arabia. The project covers 10,000 square miles and aims to create a city powered by renewable energy. It will focus on technology, sustainability, and innovation. Neom is designed to attract top talent from around the world and become a hub for the future of business and lifestyle.

The Line: A New Kind of City

Unlike traditional cities, The Line will stretch 105 miles in a straight path. Instead of spreading out, it will grow upwards, making travel and daily life more efficient. The city will have no cars, no streets, and no pollution. Everything people need—workplaces, schools, and parks—will be within a five-minute walk.

Sustainability at the Core

Neom and The Line will run on 100% renewable energy. The design includes green spaces, vertical farming, and smart water use. By reducing waste and using clean energy, Neom hopes to set a new standard for cities worldwide.

How Will The Line Change Daily Life?

Living in The Line will be different from any other city. Without cars, people will travel using high-speed transportation. Artificial intelligence will help manage energy, waste, and security. The city’s design will also encourage more social interaction and a stronger sense of community.

Challenges and Concerns

Neom is an exciting project, but it comes with challenges. The cost of building The Line is expected to reach hundreds of billions of dollars. Some experts question whether the project is realistic. Others worry about how it will impact local communities and the environment.

A Glimpse Into the Future

Neom and The Line are bold experiments in city planning. If successful, they could change how people live, work, and travel. Whether or not Neom reaches its full potential, it is pushing the world to rethink what a city can be.
