In case you’ve been living under a rock, this is The Line: Saudi Arabia’s plan for a massive linear city.
- Role: subject
- In the video: The video reviews The Line, planned at 170 km long, 200 m wide and 500 m tall: foundations with over 16,000 piles and dewatering wells, a first phase of only 2.4 km, and unanswered problems of supply, cooling and transport. It calls 2026 make-or-break.
- Why it matters: The project is the subject; the video’s argument is that its ambition outruns its engineering.
