The Line: Saudi Arabia Urban Development

Real Estate News TV

The line. It’s a brand new development in Saudi Arabia and it’s part of their urban development plan. And we’re going to kind of discuss it because it’s super interesting and a little bit unique. It is definitely a huge real estate development and it’s modernizing the way that they do things, and maybe this is the way the future. I’m really impressed with some of the things that come out of large, big projects, right? When you have a vision and they go ahead and start to execute on it. Yeah, you know, everything’s not always perfect how it works out, but this one in particular is a really grand plan. So let’s go ahead and share the screen and take a look. So this is the line. It looks like it’s a video game. It does. But this is actually real life. I don’t know. Why that girl flying in real life. Yeah, I don’t know about that. But this is what they’re kind of looking for. I have a picture if we scroll down and think maybe just a little bit more. Right there. All right. So that’s what they’re looking at. So what this is, is a huge line that stretches across the country from one side to the other, trying to get rid of cars. So there’s no cars inside. But it’s a huge structure. And according to the information I have, it’s taller than the Empire State Building. Wow. Oc Yeah, all self contained and it’s a huge line and it’s like 100 and let’s get some stats on this one. How long it is? It’s 170 kilometers long. So it’s like 100 miles, 100 and some or 105 miles long and it goes all the way through the desert and then inside it has the same climate all the time. Okay. It will only be 200 meters wide. Yeah. So it’s narrow and long. It’s all self contained. High speed rail. Yeah. Oh, now you’re getting interested. Well how do they. I’m just curious about their water and. Yeah, no, you can go from one end to the other end. 20 minutes. So everything’s all self contained. You’re within this ecosystem that is the same ideal climate year round. So one of the problems they have there is it’s very warm, right? Yeah. So they’re going to have the ideal climate inside all the time. Yeah, really crazy. It is crazy. Does it seem real? No, but it is. They’re actually starting on it and it just has all these things that they’re trying to build in there. So it’s it’s a vision that’s getting carried out by there, by the crown prince of Saudi Arabia. And what they’re trying to do is get this to be the new way it’s gone. It’s like wanting to live on Mars. It seems like it is like living on Mars. So it’s just a different way of doing things. But they’re trying to reinvent and have a huge urban plan. Is this a plan or is this something they’re like, no going on? No, they’re doing. And they do really ambitious plans. That’s yeah. And they have a couple of other ones that will go over millions. We’ll go over it in the near future, you know, some of the other projects that they have going on. But there are large plans and the idea is to change the carbon footprint, to make life a little bit better, to make properties more dense, but then to have more wide open spaces. So basically everyone lives in a high rise, but then everybody walks, so there’s no commuting. So you can get from one end to the other end in 20 minutes on a high speed rail that goes the whole way. So it’s like perfectly straight. And then imagine that it’s only so wide. So people like live on the side. There’s this middle where it is, but it’s like a whole park through the whole thing. And you live, work, shop, everything right inside. Well, they’ve got to control population and if it’s like. It’s 100 miles long, and taller than the Empire State Building. And so it has nature in it and it’s just within this. So it’s designed to be this like utopia of what’s going on now some of the times that there’s unintended consequences that backlash from stuff like this. Yeah. So they come up with it and they’re like, well, it’s going to be way better for the environment --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/realestatenewstv/message
