Purpose

A revolutionary "linear city" that is 170 km long but only 200 meters wide. It is designed to be car-free and carbon-neutral, powered entirely by renewable energy. The project represents Saudi Arabia's shift away from oil, focusing on "Zero Gravity Urbanism" where all daily needs are reachable within a five-minute walk.
