Saudi Arabia, city of mirror buildings in the desert

A city new with mirrored buildings in the middle of the desert in the northeast of the country. The goal is the diversification of the economy and stop trusting Petroleum. The news was announced in 2021 by Saudi Prince Mohamed Bin Salmán. The Line of Mirrors project will consist of two parallel buildings with mirrors, 500 meters high and 170 km long. The entire construction could take 50 years and the cost would be about a billion dollars.

The prediction is here capacity from 9 million people that will feed on the vegetables produced by the agriculture integrated into the buildings. A subscription is required for food. Self-harvested and packaged vegetables and then moved to community kitchens.

A sports stadium over 300 meters high and a marina are also planned. There will also be a high-speed train that will pass under the buildings. The whole project is just one of a series called “Neom”. All from Prince Bin Salmán’s idea to diversify the economy and stop being dependent on oil. The intention is also to attract foreign investment And create employment.

The meeting between Prince Salmán and Joe Biden, President of the United States, was fruitful to open the door to the project. Barriers to the flow of foreign money have also been overcome. However, the project has its own challenges, including managing the migration of millions of birds. Birds can collide with large buildings. The giant structures will alter the flow of water underground by restricting the movement of animals.
