NEOM (Tabuk, Saudi Arabia)
The NEOM business zone will be located in the city of Tabuk in northwestern Saudi Arabia. The project is the vision of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
It is planned to build a living laboratory here, combining cities and towns, industrial zones, research centers, sports and entertainment facilities, as well as tourist attractions. In January 2021, the city's latest project, The Line, was presented , where there will be "zero cars, zero streets and zero carbon emissions."
to the bizarre: planning thailand number data documents published in The Wall Street Journal in 2020 contain detailed descriptions of flying taxis, cloud seeding (a technology that induces rain), glow-in-the-dark sand, and an artificial moon.
NEOM Airport was classified as a commercial airport (still under development) in May 2020. NEOM has placed a confirmed order for 15 Volocopter aircraft, which are expected to begin first flights within 2-3 years.
NEOM later announced the creation of a large-scale, environmentally friendly hydrogen-based ammonia production facility powered by renewable energy, created by companies such as ThyssenKrupp, ACWA Power, and Air Products.
It was also recently announced that a regional media center will be created, combining physical and technological production in film, television, games, and digital publishing.
However, the project has faced criticism. The initiators are accused of trying to displace the Khoveytat tribe, who traditionally inhabited the land, from the territory. The presentation of The Line city has been called a futile attempt to attract international investment.
