In particular, new information has emerged about the construction of this urban wonder with a length of 170 km and a height of 500 m. At the forum, a representative of the project announced that this year the laying of the foundations of the first stage of the “reclining skyscraper“ will begin and specified when the first residents will appear.

The NEOM complex will cover an area approximately equal to the size of Belgium. In addition to this, the project will include the construction of skyscrapers and the creation of outdoor recreation areas. The complex, by the way, is being built in close proximity to the Suez Canal, one of the most important maritime arteries in the world. This plays a key role in providing a complex that should ultimately meet the daily needs of nine million residents.

The first stage of the line will be 2.4 km long. Pylons are currently being driven in specifically for the foundation, with concrete pouring expected to begin later this year. The construction of the site is planned to be completed by 2030, and 300,000 people will be able to live there.
