The Line’s Progress: Transformation in the Saudi Desert Aiming to Host 450,000 Inhabitants by 2026

In a recent update via LinkedIn, Giles Pendleton, head of development for the The Line project, part of Saudi Arabia’s ambitious Neom city plan, challenged critics by revealing significant progress in the construction of this future megacity that has already completed over 20% of its construction.

How Is The Line Project Progressing?

Pendleton shared aerial photographs documenting the scale of ongoing excavations and constructions, providing a glimpse into the development of this city that promises to redefine urban life in the desert. He also highlighted that there is an ongoing project for the construction of a floating city in the region.

The released images showcase construction efforts not only at The Line, with its planned 170 kilometers cutting through the desert, but also in key areas like the Oxagon port on the Red Sea, where it is being constructed and the luxury resort on Sindalah Island. These constructions are fundamental pieces of the puzzle that is Neom, highlighting the temporary habitat for the workers making this dream a reality.

Who Will Live in The Line?

Neom positions itself as a vision for the future, aiming to house up to nine million inhabitants by 2045, starting with 450,000 in 2026. This project, endorsed by Saudi Arabia’s Prince Mohammed bin Salman, aims to be a model of sustainability, operating entirely on renewable energy sources like solar and wind. With a projected investment of $500 billion, Neom intends to be a solution for population growth, reducing waste and minimizing environmental impact.

The Line is a revolutionary concept that promises a new way of living in urban spaces. The innovative design envisions daily life concentrated in 200-meter-wide modules flanked by towering buildings 500 meters high, offering hanging gardens, pedestrian pathways, a stadium, and a high-speed train system capable of crossing the city in just 20 minutes.

Understand The Line Project Concept

This ambitious project reflects not only Saudi Arabia’s futuristic vision for urban development but also the country’s commitment to sustainable innovation. As The Line emerges from the desert, it signals a new era for housing, leisure, and work, promising to be, in the words of Prince Mohammed, “the best place to live on the planet.”

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

They planted a sea of eucalyptus to produce cellulose, but the monoculture turned into a green desert, dried up springs and rivers, and pushed families out of regions in Minas Gerais and Bahia.

Júlia Pimentel, an 11-year-old from Minas Gerais, independently invented a new formula to calculate the square root using simple addition and multiplication, and her method was published in one of the most important mathematical scientific journals in Brazil.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Heir bought 23,000 degraded acres in the Scottish Highlands, fenced the area, planted nearly 1 million native trees, and transformed empty mountains into a forest officially recognized after meeting 15 evaluation criteria over 20 years.

The Atacama Desert, the driest place on Earth, was covered in flowers and turned into a colorful carpet with more than 200 species in the phenomenon called “desert bloom,” when atypical rains awaken seeds that had remained dormant in the soil for many years.
