Saudi Arabia's crown prince is nothing if not a big thinker. He is putting the royal treasury (powered by their huge national oil business) to work developing an economically more diversified and modern future. Part of Vision2030 is a brand new city called "The Line."
The city's design will appeal to environmental activists and climate change believers because all the power is to be provided by green energy. No cars will be permitted on this pedestrian level, but rapid public transportation will be available below ground.
Two walls, about the height of the Empire State Building, will enclose the whole 100-mile linear city. Between the walls (about 200 meters across) will be a natural environment maintained at ideal conditions by artificial intelligence--which in fact controls the whole city.
