- Neom is a massive development in northwest Saudi Arabia designed to be larger than Massachusetts and house more people than New York City.
- Its flagship component, The Line, is planned as a 105-mile long, 650-foot wide linear city accommodating up to nine million residents.
- Construction on The Line has slowed due to escalating costs and complex engineering, reducing the initial phase from 10 miles to 1.5 miles.
- The project also includes luxury resorts like Sindalah and mountain sports at Trojena, with about 2,800 workers currently onsite.
The Neom project is a critical part of my vision to turn the kingdom into a tech-focused, diversified economy.— Mohammed bin Salman, the ruler of Saudi Arabia, in the context of the development of the Neom megaproject.
