Saudi Arabia unveils design of new city to promote green lifestyle
Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz unveiled Monday (July 25) the design of THE LINE, a city to promote a green lifestyle confronting environmental crises, the Xinhua reported.
He told the Saudi Press Agency, the city, designed to be 200 meters wide, 170 km long and 500 meters above sea level, is a civilizational revolution that puts humans first, providing an unprecedented urban living experience while preserving the surrounding nature.
The design embodies how urban communities will be in the future free from roads, cars and emissions, the Xinhua said.
Residents will have access to all facilities within a five-minute walk, in addition to a high-speed rail with an end-to-end transit of 20 minutes, according to the design.
The design showed that it will run on 100 percent renewable energy, puts nature ahead of development and will contribute to preserving 95 percent of the land.
THE LINE will eventually accommodate 9 million residents and will be built on a footprint of 34 square km.
At present, project teams from over 10 countries have participated in the construction of the project, the Saudi crown prince told Xinhua.
