Recently, a drone footage has just revealed that the construction of Saudi Arabia's ambitious project, 'The Line,' has officially begun. This mega-project, often seen as too colossal to be realized, promises a futuristic city with extraordinary features.

But now that construction has actually begun, how will this turn out? Could this be the beginning of the world’s greatest megaproject ever? Or will the Line become a trillion-dollar construction mistake that will eventually be abandoned? Let’s delve deeper and find out the Saudi Arabia's The Line Starts Construction

— What Is Neom & The Line?
The exact plan of the Line was unveiled by Saudi Arabia’s crown prince Mohamad Bin Salman in July 2022. He proposed two parallel 500-meter-tall skyscrapers made of reflective glass which are supposed to span 170 kilometers through the desert. This would be equivalent to two lines consisting of 2000 One World Trade Centers - each. The Line is not just the biggest megaproject ever proposed. It's a new way of living.

— Construction of “The Line” Actually Begins
On the 19th of October 2022, drone footage of the construction site was revealed by OT Sky. The video shows dozens of excavators digging trenches along the desert, which will form the foundation of the Line. According to the drone footage, the excavation already leads very far inland. It's hard to say how far it exactly goes but they could be close to the mountains in the background.

— Possible Outcomes
So, now that construction has really started, how could this turn out? There is nothing comparable to this in the whole world. So, we can only speculate what will happen next. But we can say that there are basically 3 possible outcomes.

The first possible outcome is that construction on the Line will come to a halt in a few months or even years without any people moving in. Similar to the Jeddah Tower or the Dubai Creek Tower, it could turn into a project where its construction status remains unclear. However, this seems to be a less likely outcome for the Line since it is backed by an entire country and received massive attention from the whole world. Getting the project even close to completion could be a great opportunity to bring more tourists and investors to Saudi Arabia.

The second scenario is that Saudi Arabia heavily invests in their current plans and that over the next decades the country really achieves what it promised in its trailers. Implementing certain features could definitely be possible, like having no cars, generating 100% renewable energy, and implementing the idea of vertical living.

But there is a third possible outcome: Given that they have already started construction, there might be a compromise. Like many of you in the comments of our last video already said, Saudi Arabia could build it, but not at the insane lengths they envisioned. The Line is built as 5-minute walk segments, so they could essentially build the whole megaproject bit by bit.

— Expert Opinions
So, which of these outcomes is the most likely? What are experts saying about this insane project?

Antoni Vives, chief urban planning officer at Neom, told CNBC: “I want to be clear about this — Neom is a complex, bold, and highly ambitious undertaking and is most certainly not an easy one to deliver. But we are making strong progress, and it’s exciting to see the vision come to life.”

On the other hand, a lot of experts not involved in the project are mentioning other concerns. Marshall Brown, professor of architecture at Princeton University, told Dezeen: “There would be so many physical and environmental phenomena that would have to be dealt with to achieve the incredibly minimal and singular character that the renderings propose.”
