Originally Published 6 months ago — by Middle East Eye
Saudi Arabia has asked consultants to review the feasibility of 'The Line', a key part of the Neom megaproject, amid scaling back plans due to rising costs and falling oil prices. The ambitious, car-free city was initially envisioned to host one million residents and contribute significantly to the economy, but recent reports suggest a reduction in scope and population targets, reflecting financial and internal challenges. The project remains a symbol of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 to diversify its economy.
