Career: According to Saudi Arabia state news agency SPA Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman announced on Monday that he wants to house 9 million citizens in his new Mirror Neom city plan.
Its unique (Logo and) design features 2 skyscrapers facing each other that are 500 meters tall taller than Empire State Building. Their width is said to be more than 100 km. They are part of the Saudi Arabia prince $500 billion Neom City project which promises to transform a desert size of Belgium into a modern city Neom.
Mohammed bin Salman announced mega Neom project in 2017 and pledged that the project would lay the foundation for a more modern urban life. This is expected to increase foreign investment to reduce economy dependence on oil exports.
But despite the passage of 5 years Neom project is facing delays with the biggest difficulty being realization of the Saudi Arabia prince dreams.
A dream of a green and modern Neom city in desert
Glow- in the dark beaches billions of trees in a country of vast deserts passenger trains running above the ground by magnetic force a simulated moon a 100 mile eco friendly city along desert.
These are some of plans for a proposed future residential city called Neom Saudi Arabia wants to build such a city as part of its commitment to make its country green.
But the question is is all this really possible Neom City ?
Neom City Project management claims that this is a map of the future according to which humanity will set the goals of development & modernization but this development will-not have any negative impact on the environment of planet.
Urbanization Neom project is worth around $500billion & is part of Saudi Arabia ambitious Vision 2030 plan to wean its economy off oil. It should be-noted that oil industry has made Saudi a rich country but now Saudi Arabia wants the countr economy to be less dependent on oil.
City will-be built on a total area of 26500 square kilometers 10230 sq mi an area larger than Kuwait or Israel combined. The city planners claim that Saudi Arabia laws will-not apply in the city because it will-be an autonomous region with a system designed to attract investment.
Former banker Ali Shah habi is included in advisory board of Neom City. They say the massive region will include the construction of a 170kilometer 105mile long city called The Line which will-be settled as a straight line in the desert.
Plan for this city seems farfetched but Shahabi says that it will-be built in a phased manner. People say it a crazy project that going to cost hundreds of billions of dollars but it going to happen in a phased manner exactly where there not much of a gap between supply & demand.
It will be like Barcelona traffic free super blocks where each block will be self sufficient & have amenities like shops 5 schools so that people can find anything they need 5 minutes away he explains. Available within walking or cycling distance.
Neom : city is part of the Crown Prince concept of a Green Saudi Arabi A week before the COP 26 climate change talks he also launched Saudi Green Initiative which has announced a goal of achieving zero carbon emissions by 2060.
Dr Joanna Depledge an expert on international climate change negotiations at the University of Cambridge said it was initially seen as a big step but it didn't meet the criteria after scrutiny. She points out that to reduce warming in Saudi Arabia to 5.1 degrees Celsius global oil production needs to decrease by about 5 percent annually between now and 2030.
