Stunning photos show progress on the 'world's biggest construction site' that promises to redefine the look of cities and urban living.  Fresh aerial images have emerged showing remarkable progress on what's being called the world's largest construction site. The project, known as NEOM, is slowly taking shape near the Red Sea in the Arabian Desert, with its centrepiece development called THE LINE now visibly rising from the desert floor.

When completed, this extraordinary undertaking could potentially house around 9 million people when it's completely finished.

The development has experienced both delays and budget overruns, leading to the appointment of a new CEO specifically tasked with reviewing the project's feasibility.

"THE LINE is taking shape at an incredible pace and something I'm incredibly proud of," - Giles Pendleton, COO, THE LINE

While the construction is definitely moving forward, the final scope and timeline are pretty uncertain right now. The authorities and developers are trying to balance their ambitions with the reality of what they can actually afford and build.
