"The Line will have an outer mirror facade that will provide its unique character and allow even its small footprint to blend with nature, while the interior will be built to create extraordinary experiences and magical moments," stated a press release. While no specific architectural firm that designed The Line has been disclosed, Neom stated that The Line "will be created by a team of world-renowned architects and engineers, led by Neom, to develop this revolutionary concept for the city of the future." ![]() The Line is planned to run on 100 per cent renewable energy and prioritizes people's health and well-being over transportation and infrastructure compared to traditional cities.Īccording to Neom, the infrastructure of The Line puts nature ahead of development and it "will contribute to preserving 95 per cent of NEOM’s land." "The designs of The Line embody how urban communities will be in the future in an environment free from roads, cars and emissions," said Neom. Residents will be able to access to all facilities within a five-minute walk, in addition to high-speed rail – with an end-to-end transit of 20 minutes.

When complete, alongside residential units, the structure will offer retail and leisure facilities with parks and schools.
