Sustainable Urban City Designs

NEOM, the sustainable development project in northwest Saudi Arabia, has launched the first phase of THE LINE, an innovative city designed to tackle global urban issues by creating a sustainable environment that works in harmony with nature. THE LINE will be a car-free city without roads, blending the energy of city life with green spaces, allowing residents easy access to nature alongside modern urban amenities.

NEOM has partnered with leading firms, including "Delugan Meissl Associate Architects (DMAA), Gensler, and Mott MacDonald, to guide the urban design, planning, and infrastructure for this first phase." Together, they have established an advanced design approach to meet THE LINE’s goals for urban sustainability. Following this initial phase, the design and planning of neighborhoods will begin in early 2025, representing a key step toward a new model of sustainable urban living.
