Many years ago I read the book A Pattern Language by architect Christopher Alexander. In it, he examined what kind of spaces help create community and foster a sense of well-being in humans. We tend to organize our cities, towns, villages, and homes with central gathering places such as the town square or central plaza and in a home, the central hearth. Think about how many times you’ve been at a house party and everyone ends up congregating in the kitchen. The Line runs contrary to this basic principle.

I'm an architect and I can tell you that these experiments have always been a total failure. The amount of energy to sustain something so artificial would be astonishing, imagine how much money just to clean those mirror walls so that they keep reflecting in the desert or the sand that you have to remove from one side of the building so that it doesn't build up on one side of the wall, the energy from to cool the city, and the inefficiency of distributing the city linearly makes it less than and more small ghettos one after the other since one person has to spend a lot of energy to go from one end to the other end of the city compared to a circular area where everything is closer, basically, it creates a problem where there wasn't one just to look flashy on renders. There is nothing sustainable about this. Also views and sunlight it's a concern, and of course, water supply and cooling since you are in the desert. And also you need a lot of money to incentivize people to go live in that city and companies to create jobs, getting this right is impossible in a rigid scheme of pre-design and constricted space, you need a degree of flexibility to adjust for things that you can't foresee. This is absurd.

While this is an interesting design exercise, what it fails to take into account is that cities are not static things. They are born for a collective reason (a seaport, a booming industry, a seat of government, agriculture, or mining). They evolve, prosper for a time, and then inevitably die. All the while their size, boundaries, and populations change. A city is not something you build once - and done.

Fun fact: The thing is, Saudi Arabia’s own sand is not conducive to their own needs. Desert sand is much different than the sand you’d find at the beach. The sand in the desert has been eroded by thousands of years of wind and as a result, is very smooth and fine. The sand you’d find at the beach or near water (maritime sand) is coarser as a result of water erosion. This is the type of sand Saudi Arabia wants.

Most such cities end as completely deserted places where no one lives. I mean what is the incentive to live there? There is none, if there were one, there would already be a city there. That's the problem with all these projects, instead of turning an already existing city into a modern city, they start building a new one in the middle of nowhere. The only people that would be mildly interested to live there are rich people. But there aren't enough rich people there and they also dont bring industry and jobs with them to have 9 million other people move into that city. When you look at the cities that are successful then it's those that provide opportunities to work and make a decent living. That's the only thing that attracts people.

Some of these ideas they’re proposing sound like logistical nightmares to build. I just don’t ever see this thing ever even coming close or being finished. Betting this project will drain far too many resources too quick and ultimately be abandoned besides maybe the high speed rail.

I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed: And on the pedestal these words appear: "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.

It's a great idea for a super-max prison. How many prisoners can it hold? Remote, limited controlled access, monitored 24/7, own currency that can be turned off at any time, one entrance (Hotel California) and one exit (in a coffin), the transport system runs past your window so everyone can see what you are doing (better than bars on the window), there will probably be special 'unpublished' laws to outlaw lots of things that are legal in other countries, probably their own courts to convict you, no way of communicating to the outside world unless through an approved devices/coms link and best of all people pay to stay there, so it is self-financing. Why do so many people think they don't need to live in harmony with nature and can live in a dystopian bubble? Bubbles have a tendency to burst!

Not sure this is true exactly. Most of our cities are choking themselves with sprawling suburbs and over-reliance on ever-growing numbers of cars, and are in desperate need of huge centrally-orchestrated infrastructure overhauls that will probably never happen. Starting over from scratch with good urban planning may be the best thing to do at this point. Not sure The Line is an example of good urban planning though... Also if you look at the places in the world where cities have grown organically without much regulatory constraint, well let's just say they are largely not the most desirable places to live.

Cities are supposed to bring people close together, and this line of cities simply defeats that purpose. Ideally, you could build several urban "dots" and string them together with a high-speed rail line. The linear urban design also ignores geographic livable areas, which ultimately increases the cost of supplementation and waste management.

Even before the invention of the aeroplane, people criticized it. The line city is unique to the current generation, so maybe after 100 years Arabs will dominate the world and Americans and Europeans will be slaves of Arabs. Because history does not remain the same. America and Europe do not have such a large barren land to build such a city. So this could be a sign of global power change. Europeans never thought that North America would ever rule the world. Europeans may feel offended but its fact. Aslo, Europeans were taught Mathematics by Arabian Mathematician. #fact
