A Line in the World: A Year on the North Sea Coast: the ‘magical’ (Charles Foster) and ‘beautiful’ (Jessica J. Lee) memoir of life on the wild Danish coast

Product Information

You just think about things in a different way and ask questions like – why do we want lifts that only go up and down, rather than horizontally? To ensure the establishment of microclimatic spaces, the environment has been carefully designed to allow for an optimal balance of sunlight, shade and natural ventilation. World lines as a method of describing events [ edit ] World line, worldsheet, and world volume, as they are derived from particles, strings, and branes. With more than 25 years of professional experience in real estate sales, leasing and marketing Paul Jessup has worked across large-scale development projects around the world – including in Qatar, Oman, Spain and the United Kingdom.

We want to surpass those, we are trying to improve on the best cities in the world from a livability point of view.

Our zero-car environment is part of a 100% sustainable transport system – with zero pollution and zero wait time. People will do the same thing because everything runs in a dead straight line, you can run everything adjacent and as efficiently, and fast, as possible. It is the epicenter for all activities – the primary home for residents, as a vertical city with all the activities that will be there – from opera houses and libraries to stadiums and universities.

Imagine then a whole city within a 500-meter tall and 200 meter-wide building, stretching 170 kilometers across the coast, desert and mountains of Northeast Saudi Arabia. We are building a university in the first module because we want to anchor the launch around innovation and education. On top of that, we won’t have pollution like other big cities – so you will be able to enjoy the outdoors to the max. It's going to have the best of everything in the world, which will lead to an ecosystem of incubation and a proliferation of ideas and inspiration.THE LINE will tackle the challenges facing humanity in urban life today and will shine a light on alternative ways to live.

The world line (or worldline) of an object is the path that an object traces in 4- dimensional spacetime. Real estate contributes 40% of the world's carbon emissions now and has been an industry that takes more than it gives back to the planet. In a vertical system, you will very quickly see if there's a leak because everything is highly visible and accessible. This has never been attempted before, we're taking an entire city and putting it on a footprint that's 200 meters wide. With a background in project development and management, Giles Pendleton has delivered first-class solutions driven by sustainability.The idea is that irrespective of what you do for a living or what you earn, you share the same amenities in the same close proximity to you as everyone else. A cognitive city stretching across 170 kilometers, from the epic mountains of NEOM across inspirational desert valleys to the beautiful Red Sea. In mid 2026 you'll be able to fly into the new international airport, jump on a high-speed train and get to any part of NEOM. Every single thing you can think of in any city in the world will be on THE LINE at some point, but it may not be in the very first module; just when it makes sense from a population perspective.

Michael Vavakis has more than 30 years of experience in transforming global businesses, from Silicon Valley multinationals to global development companies. Imagine if you pre-clear, go through a biometric scanner and your bag is transported to your destination for you.The public realm then becomes more than just a walkway from A to B, it becomes part of the fabric of the city. Data allows you to map behavior and create predictability with patterns of people, what they do and what they want. This is the story of the violent collisions between the people who live in these wild places and the vagaries of the natural world. We cannot ignore the livability and environmental crises facing our world’s cities, and NEOM is at the forefront of delivering new and imaginative solutions to address these issues. Plus there will be horizontal transport corridors at four different heights that might well be pods, light rail or even horizontal elevators – we are still deciding on that particular solution.
