Once built, The Line’s mirrored city walls will be home to 9 million people. Residents lucky enough to live here will be supported by a futuristic infrastructure that will give them access to all their basic amenities within a 5-minute walk. While a high-speed rail link will run the whole length of The Line in as little as 20 minutes.
With neither roads nor cars and 95% of its land preserved for nature, The Line will also be carbon neutral, with a 0% carbon footprint.
As you would expect, with sustainability at its core, there is a strong emphasis on renewable energy, water conservation and reuse, and a circular waste management system that promises zero waste to landfill. While the city itself will be powered by wind and solar panels.
Zahid Tractor has supplied many of the 5,000 tractors, excavators, loaders, graders, and trucks currently on-site, and that number is expected to double over the coming year. All of these will be kept very busy as just the preparation for the foundations alone will involve moving approximately 500 million cubic meters of soil.
Saudis... they go Big for sure.
