What happen to the straight line city that the Saudis wanted to make?
>>224535067too soon
>>224535067Too retarded sadly 999 different practical problems too bad think of how cool it would be to incelwalk the whole thing
>>224535067 timmy contractors milked enough money and called it a day
They opted to build a datacenter insteadNot joking
>>224535067Orwellian af, glad that project got cancelled. Looks like an open-air prison for the ecosocialist New World Order.
>>224535067its over
Remind me again, what was the point of that thing? Why a line?
>>224535819The data center line? Sounds even more kink desu
>>224535067last thing i have read about it, that some parts of the project were cancelled (not entirely sure about the entire project), even for oil saudis this costed too much.
>>224536498very easy transport system just have trams/trains/pipes/wiring all going in a straight line
>>224536629What a retarded project
>>224536629except going from one extremity to the other is a pain in the assjust have a circle, and like multiple circles and maybe roads that connect oposite sides of the circleThen it just becomes a normal city (good)
>>224536498you can put a train in the middle
>>224536839thats kind of what theyyre doing with the oxagon
>>224536629well except that this doesn't work in a line.
>>224536839They could do that and then have a spiral pathway for full coverage incelwalking that would be cool
>>224535203>999 different practical problemsName a few
you should see what they are planning to make mecca into
>>224537035There was a fuckhuge news story about it when they cancelled it lets see>We were going to take something like 60 per cent of the global production of green steel [per year], which causes the price to go up,” said a senior design manager.>For all the supplies, meanwhile, there was just one small sleepy port 80km to the south of Neom, connected to the construction site by a single dual carriageway, s>The senior construction manager said that for 12 modules to be built by 2030, a 40ft container would need to arrive “every eight seconds”, 24 hours a day.>natural light was a problem. Most public spaces were located near the middle of the building, which lacked daylight, said a designer who worked on the detailed design of the neighbourhoods. The stadium, which would span the full width of The Line, also cast an immense shadow over other sections.>Water and sewage, mail delivery, insurance systems and rubbish removal became unique challenges in a vertical city. Fire safety required a complete rethink: rather than down and out, residents would move sideways, to buildings on the left or right, in the event of an emergency.>After inquiring, they were told that the station hadn’t been “sized for any passengers bringing luggage” from the airport. The plan was for people to instead send them via a separate system, with pickups from outside their home. “So when do you have to leave your bag by the door?” the architect asked. The reply: “Eight hours before your flight.”>Somebody told [MBS] very early on that he could have a high-speed rail from the airport to the coast and he could do it in 20 minutes. So he wanted one,” said the planner. The 20-minute estimate assumed the train did not stop along the route to pick up or drop off passengers.
>>224537035>The marina, dug deep enough to handle vast cruise liners, also proved more viable on paper than in practice. The planner said it “doesn’t work”. The water lacked a natural current, meaning that without some artificial circulation the marina would become stagnant and a potential health hazard. Neom’s answer was to install giant pumps, which would need to run 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. “Given the size of the marina and the distance to the coast, this is a significant undertaking,” the planner added.>The Line would block the migration routes through the mountains for several species of mammal. It also crosses a migratory route used by millions of birds flying south from Europe and Asia to overwinter in Africa, >Designers proposed fritting — printing small ceramic dots on the glass — to make it more visible to the birds. But Livio Rey, of the Swiss Ornithological Institute, explained that this would not address the issue. Even if they spotted the obstacle, they would “have to fly 90km along The Line to go around it”.>meet the 2030 deadline, construction work needed to start quickly. Piling began in the spring of 2022, even though detailed design for the actual building had yet to be done. To cope with the uncertainty, the design team maximised the size, making the piles 2.5 to 3 metres in diameter. “Some of these piles are the biggest in the world; they’re absolutely colossal,” said a construction specialist who worked on The Line. On site, 60 piling rigs worked around the clock, putting in 60 to 65 piles a day. About 6,000 of them were drilled into the ground, stretching across 2km of desert.>The Line’s 20 modules dropped to 12, then seven, then four. At the end of 2023 it dropped to three. “When it dropped to three,” said the senior construction manager, “those 6,000 piles are no use at all.>Where would the 9mn people due to populate The Line come from? How quickly could they be reasonably expected to arrive
>>224536907them niggas always trying some weird shit fr ong>>224537030I have a PhD on incelwalking, what I find the most fun is usually a variation in density, going from a big square to smaller tighter streets, and then back to a big street, that's why I like Paris so much. I wish the petrodollars could be used to build such cities
>>224537469is there a rundown on how much it costed haussmann to rebuild paris?
>>224537376>Where would the 9mn people due to populate The Line come from? How quickly could they be reasonably expected to arriveIf it's an issue, a deal can be made with Europe. We can send them all the migrants we have in excess for free.
>>224537606Yeah yeah. I think it would be funny if saudis had cucked a bunch of birds and everybody was pissed
>>224535067>spending trillions in a project so jeets slaves can live theremost retarded project of all time
>>224536629It's easy That's how simple minded those animals are
saudi arabia was going to host the next asian® winter games in an artificial ski resort built around a destroyed mountain top and artificial lake covered in artificial snow however it turns out they can't finish it in time so the games were moved to kazakhstan lmao
