Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"After spending more than $50 billion, the crown prince’s sci-fi-inspired dreams—an arid-mountain ski resort, a floating business district, and the Line, the 106-mile-long pair of Empire State Building-height skyscrapers that is Neom’s centerpiece—have collided with reality.</p><p>Costs have soared, delays are ubiquitous and a decision last year to reduce Neom’s first phase threatens to deprive the desert city of the critical mass of inhabitants needed to make it a modern business hub.</p><p>Behind Neom’s problems: a dance of mutual delusion in which the crown prince pushed for fantastical plans—and executives shielded him from the full scope of challenges and costs, according to former employees and a more than 100-page internal audit of the project presented to members of Neom’s board last spring and reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. </p><p>The audit report, labeled “final draft,” found that executives, at times aided by the project’s longtime consultants, McKinsey &amp; Co., plugged unrealistically rosy assumptions into Neom’s business plan to justify rising cost estimates. The audit found “evidence of deliberate manipulation” of finances by “certain members of management.”"</p><p><a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/saudi-arabia-neom-sindalah-15b9f25a" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">wsj.com/finance/saudi-arabia-n</span><span class="invisible">eom-sindalah-15b9f25a</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/SaudiArabia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SaudiArabia</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/McKinsey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>McKinsey</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Neom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Neom</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DesertCity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DesertCity</span></a></p>

✨🇪🇺 Mia’s Simulacrum 🏳️‍⚧️✨<p>The Line in Saudi Arabia is such a cool idea... and the western arrogance that i read so often is quite worrying for me. I guess it is yet again a future leading project that is laughed on by ppl that laugh at anything that is exploring the future... but let me explain:</p><p>The Line is a extendable project that could house half of Saudi Arabia's citizens while providing an almost complete solution to the urban problems and those that will arise with climate change.<br>Saudi Arabia will become inhospitable quite fast due to climate change, they already reach temps of 52.0 °C.<br>As a result The Line is planed to be build in such a way that one does not need to leave the building. This thing is self contained as much as feasible possible.<br>There are no cars, only a central moving system. And in the bigger neom project 100% of the water will be recycled. </p><p>Saudi Arabia does not care if it is feasible to build it, because it is a experimental test balloon how to build a climate doomsday bunker that will inevitable be needed there since the current car centric urban environment is not maintainable and many skyscrapers are hard to connect in a climate change resistant way that is efficient. I guess something like the Line is just so much cheaper to build since you just have to build the same modules over and over again and put them in a straight line.</p><p>But hay go ahead and laugh about the "crazy and decadent" project that has "no reason to exist"... 🤷‍♀️ </p><p>Also there seem to die a lot of humans for this and Saudi Arabia just does not seem care about it...
