NEOM exhibition visitors bemused by The Line

An exhibition showcasing designs for The Line, a development earmarked for NEOM, came to an end in Jeddah on Sunday.

The exhibition included detailed designs, renders and architectural concepts of The Line, enabling visitors to better understand the scope and complexity of the project. Visitors were also shown visual presentations and engineering techniques.

The Line will run on 100 percent renewable energy and prioritize the health and wellbeing of people over transportation and infrastructure.

Once completed, the development will be 200 meters wide, 170 kilometers long, and 500 meters above sea level. The exhibition started on August 1 at the Superdome in Jeddah and offered around 50 guided tours per day in both Arabic and English. 

The displays provided levels of detail that reinforce the ambition of the vision for the new urban environment. It will now move to other locations in the Kingdom including the Eastern Province and Riyadh.

The project will eventually accommodate 9 million residents and will be built on a footprint of just 34 square kilometers. This small footprint will use less land when compared to other cities of similar capacity and will contribute to conserving 95 percent of NEOM’s land.
