NEOM Is The Parody Of The Future

2.2M views · 4 years ago · essay · dated

Adam Something picks apart NEOM, Saudi Arabia's planned desert megacity, including its 170 km long linear city The Line. He argues that the concept is more spectacle than workable urban design.

HN people point to it as a decent teardown of the linear city plan, alongside other video essays debunking NEOM.
