Plans for a futuristic megacity in the shape of a 170km skyscraper wall are being likened to something out of a dystopian sci-fi movie.
Saudi Arabia has unveiled plans for a futuristic, car-free megacity in the shape of a 200-metre wide, 500-metre high mirrored skyscraper wall that will span 170 kilometres of desert.
Dubbed “The Line”, the proposed “zero carbon” city – it is claimed – will eventually accommodate nine million residents by 2045, divided into three-dimensional, “five-minute walk neighbourhoods” powered by artificial intelligence.
And subterranean levels will connect four regions with a maximum 20-minute commute.
Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman revealed concept designs for The Line on Monday, which allegedly will “run on 100 per cent renewable energy and prioritise people’s health and wellbeing over transportation and infrastructure” by condensing the footprint of a traditional city into just 34 square kilometres.
