According to a report on an impact assessment from last year, the project may be finished in 50 years even though the Crown Prince, the plan's creator and visionary, wants it completed by 2030. Millions of migratory birds use these corridors each year, and the high-rise structures provide a barrier in their way. High-speed underground transit lines are being built into the city itself to provide 20-minute commutes to destinations.

75-mile-long mirror skyscrapers will be reportedly built in Neom city ... (Interesting Engineering)

Last year, the de facto ruler of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, announced his grand vision to build The Line.

The buildings on either side will be connected with walkways, while plans for vertical farming have been incorporated into the design to help feed the residents of the city. Additionally, the difference is that the skyscrapers at The Line will run along for 75 miles (120 km), stretching across the desert, mountain, and coastal terrains. The largest exporter of crude oil, Saudi Arabia, is looking to diversify its source of income, given that the world is moving away from fossil fuels.

Saudi Arabia's skyscraper project, named Mirror Line, will begin from the Gulf of Aqaba and bisect a mountain range which extends along the coastline.

A high-speed rail will run underneath the buildings. It will go on through a mountain resort and a complex that will be home to the Saudi Arabian government. Besides these, there will be a marina to dock yachts and have vertical farming integrated into the building that can feed five million people.

The Saudi Arabian government has unveiled visuals of a 500-metre-tall, linear city named The Line, which will be built near the Red Sea as part of Neom.

"Neom will be a place for all people from across the globe to make their mark on the world in creative and innovative ways," he continued. "We cannot ignore the livability and environmental crises facing our world's cities, and Neom is at the forefront of delivering new and imaginative solutions to address these issues," said Bin Salman. "Neom is leading a team of the brightest minds in architecture, engineering and construction to make the idea of building upwards a reality." "The Line will tackle the challenges facing humanity in urban life today and will shine a light on alternative ways to live."

The Crown Prince added: “We cannot ignore the livability and environmental crises facing our world’s cities, and NEOM is at the forefront of delivering new and imaginative solutions to address these issues. Designed by Morphosis Architects, The Mirror Line is made up of two mirrored buildings that run parallel to one another. The rough cost for the completion of the NEOM initiative is somewhere close to $1 trillion USD with the skyscraper costing $500 billion USD alone.

The government said the buildings will be carbon neutral and sustainable for the environment. However, the details are yet to be seen, and especially considering the massive scale of the construction, it seems quite questionable how exactly the building will be carbon neutral. There will also be a marina for boats and vertical farms integrated into the walls. The buildings will be connected with a high-speed train running below the building, as well as walkways. When announcing the Neom in 2021, Prince Muhammed described the project as a “civilizational revolution that puts humans first” and said he wanted the Mirror Line to be ready by 2030 and powered by renewables. But the new building will dwarf the Burj Khalifa in several ways.
