Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman the chairman of the neom company board of directors presents a
bold Vision a city that stretches 170 kilometers 106 miles known as the line This extraordinary
Endeavor preserves 95 percent of nature within its boundaries boasting zero cars zero streets and
zero carbon emissions this ambitious project is not just a Visionary concept it is a Cornerstone
of Saudi Vision 2030 the line aims to address some of Humanity's most pressing challenges including
Legacy infrastructure pollution traffic and human congestion by removing cars and Roads from the
equation the line introduces a paradigm shift in how cities can be designed and experienced
the line stretches across 170 kilometers from The Majestic mountains of neon to the
awe-inspiring desert valleys and the Beautiful Red Sea its mirrored architectural Marvels Tower 500
meters high yet occupy only a land-saving 200 meter width this cognitive City redefines Urban
Development offering a glimpse into the cities of the future the purpose behind the line's creation
throughout history cities have been built to protect and serve their citizens yet as the world
progressed the focus shifted towards machines cars and factories leading to unintended consequences
the Industrial Revolution gave rise to cities that prioritized efficiency over human well-being today
the repercussions of this approach are becoming increasingly evident in the most advanced cities
people spend years of their lives commuting and this trend is set to worsen by 2050 commute times
are projected to double trapping individuals in a never-ending cycle of congestion and frustration
simultaneously the alarming rise in CO2 emissions and sea levels threatens the displacement of 1
billion people by the same year additionally a staggering 90 percent of the global population
breeds polluted air resulting in adverse health effects the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
under the leadership of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman chose to draw the line they boldly
rejected conventional City Concepts and embraced a futuristic approach to Urban sustainable living
instead of allowing cities to encroach upon nature the line sets a new standard it aims to preserve
95 of the existing natural environment ensuring that future Generations can thrive in harmony
with their surroundings but where exactly does the line located the line runs through neon a
sprawling region that stretches from the Red Sea Coast to the mountains and upper valleys of Saudi
Arabia this strategic location positions NEOM as a global Innovation Hub with immense potential for
economic growth and connectivity one of the key advantages of NEOM's location is its accessibility
more than 40 percent of the world's population can reach NEOM's breathtaking Terrain in less
than four hours making it an ideal destination for people from various corners of the globe
furthermore neon benefits from its proximity to the Red Sea which already handles a significant
portion of the World's Trade this bustling Waterway is responsible for 13 of global
trade creating opportunities for neon to become a vibrant international trading hub
by situating the line within neon the Visionary planners have leveraged the Region's geographical
advantages to propel it onto the global stage NEOM's prime location connecting the Red Sea
Coast to the mountains and valleys positions it as a catalyst for Innovation and development
