“Man dreams, action is born.” In Arabia, the dream of Fernando Pessoa’s poetry was the raw material for the work. The idea of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to build a new city is beginning to take shape on the ground: a 170-kilometer line is taking shape from the Red Sea to the mountains and desert in the Tabuk region, where the tallest building in the world is.
The “line”, a group of interconnected buildings that will form a city with a length of 170 kilometers, extending “Lanha” in Portuguese, from within the Red Sea to the outskirts of the city of Tabuk, the seat of the neighborhood in which this revolution took place. Saudi Arabia is beginning to take hold. The group of adjacent buildings, covered in glass the entire length, must cost 500 billion euros, and rise 500 meters above the ground. A 200-meter-wide strip that can accommodate six to nine million people, including spaces for housing, work, and leisure, with water courses, gardens, parks, and various sports facilities.
According to an estimate given in 2021, in documents obtained by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), the completion date of the project is 2050. The project, which was designed by the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman, consists of two parallel rows of buildings , stretching along a line of 170 kilometers, passed from one end to the other by a high-speed train, which promises to take residents from the sea to the mountains, or vice versa, in about 20 minutes.
