Remember That Wave of Videos That Blew Up on the Internet About The Line, the Futuristic City of Saudi Arabia? Well, the Project That Seemed Like Something Out of a Sci-Fi Movie Is Taking Shape. In 2023, the Work of the City That Promises to Have No Cars or Pollution Is in Rapid Process, but Without Making Much Noise.

People are curious to know: “So, how’s the progress on The Line?” Hold on to this: 20% of the basic infrastructure is already in place. This includes roads and buildings that are the skeleton of the city. The satellite images don’t lie, showing that the desert is changing its face.

The Hidden Marina, which is part of The Line, is all set to become the largest marina on the planet. Just imagine, every week, they remove 1 million cubic meters of earth from the way. That’s a lot of dirt!

The Line promises to be sustainable, but some say that’s just talk. The construction could leave a carbon footprint the size of an elephant, and there’s also the human rights issue that’s causing a stir.

Neom is not only about The Line. Trojena aims to be the ski destination in the desert, and Oxagon is gearing up to be the port that is going to buzz in commerce.

Trojena is racing against time to be ready for the Asian Winter Games, and Oxagon is gradually building its legacy.

Sindalah is that chic island that will be the postcard of Neom. With luxury hotels and a golf course that is almost ready, the island promises to be the initial taste of what Neom has to offer.

Who Pays the Bill for Neom

When it comes to money, Neom is doing just fine. The Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia is footing the bill with cash that could make billionaires cry.

There are several major companies around the world getting involved. The Line and its siblings are transforming the desert into a hub of innovations.

Everyone is watching to see if what is promised will come to fruition or if it will remain just a promise. The future of Neom is being written now, and the world is watching the show from the sidelines.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

With 70 tons of rock removed by hand and an 800-year-old abandoned cave, a former businessman transforms a dark shelter into a modern home carved in the heart of the forest.

Scientists have created a material six times lighter than air, 75 times lighter than styrofoam, and that becomes stronger the more it is compressed: aerographite seems impossible, but it can reinforce structures, batteries, and satellites.

Largest investment per capita in Brazil: city receives R$ 1 billion in sanitation, invests 322% above the national average, and gains a new ETA capable of supplying an additional 1,270 liters of water per second.

Neither washing machine nor laundry: the trick that helps eliminate odors accumulated from sweat, humidity, and dust, restores the volume of pillows and duvets in a few hours, and is surprising those seeking convenience at home.

The truck leaves and the train enters: Transnordestina will invest R$ 3.6 billion in a new railway corridor with an 84-hectare terminal, a 7.5 km branch, and the capacity to double the movement of the Port of Pecém to 40 million tons.

With 6 openings at Norsul and 4 at Norcoast, the trainee program pays R$ 4,000, offers health and dental plans, life insurance, and meal vouchers to train Nautical Officers in a 2-year course in Rio de Janeiro.
