A new very extensive city project could see the light of day in Saudi Arabia.So extensive, that it would spread out along a main axis of 170 km.
Any mayor of the big city faces the same problem: the urban planning plan and the management of the spread of the agglomeration.In Saudi Arabia, a big city project intends to take this detail which is not one by a rather unusual angle: to spread out, a lot spread out.A "long" city of 170 km, which has a particularity, namely a single main axis connecting districts built by the "road".
The city, soberly called "The Line", is made up of modules in which the inhabitants have access to public services within a radius of five minutes walk.And to connect all these beautiful people, a "tube" Hyperloop.

It is difficult not to see a somewhat utopian project of a start-up or a country in search of looks and investors.The Line promises (on paper) to be able to reach any other area in the city in 20 minutes maximum.This kind of pharaonic project would probably require equally astronomical sums, especially there is a question of "digging" the residential areas to have an underground level with shops and services.Over 170 km, it starts to do a lot.
