Saudi Arabia Plan’s To Build A Futuristic City Only 660 Feet Wide
This is Saudi Arabia’s plan to build a futuristic city.
The new futuristic city is in a place called Neom. This new city is going to be only 660 feet wide but it will be 26,500 sq kilometers(10,231 sq miles). The city of Neom will cost Saudi Arabia 500 billion dollars to build. Saudi Arabia expects around 450,000 people to live there by 2026 and by 2030 they have going to be 1.5 to 2 million people. All of the energy in Neom will be 100% renewable energy. Residents will only have a 5-minute walk to get to all of their daily needs. Neom will have the largest green hydrogen production in the world. According to agency reports nearly 20% of the infrastructure works at Neom are finished. Saudi Arabia will be using the next-generation mode of transportation called the Volocopter. Neom City wants to become the world’s most food-self-sufficient city even though the country currently imports 80% of its food. This city is designed to have no streets, cars, or carbon emissions. This Neom city is not without controversy. Some critics think it’s an attempt by the crown prince to have a better image in the U.S. after they concluded that he was responsible for the 2018 killing of a journalist.
