Saudi Arabia's The Line, a massive mirrored city project spanning over 100 miles, aims to house millions and supports Vision 2030 to diversify its economy.
Urban design experts recognize The Line's concept as ambitious yet not revolutionary, drawing comparisons to historical linear cities from the 19th century.
The project faced management changes with the resignation of CEO Nadhmi al-Nasr, raising concerns about its ambitious scope and timely execution amidst reports of scaling back.
Historical examples like La Ciudad Lineal and Ville Radieuse illustrate the long-standing allure of linear urban design, though practical implementations have been few.
