In the heart of the vast Arabian desert, a vision emerged - a vision that would reshape the landscape and redefine the very essence of urban living. The Line construction project in Saudi Arabia, an ambitious endeavour that promised a revolutionary approach to city planning and sustainability, captured the imagination of the world.

The Line was conceived as a linear city, a ribbon of interconnected communities stretching 170 kilometers across the desert. The brainchild of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the project aimed to revolutionise the concept of urban living, addressing issues of sustainability, environmental impact, and the quality of life.

The futuristic proposal garnered attention for its boldness, promising a city where people could live, work, and thrive in a seamlessly integrated environment. At first glance, the Line appeared to be a marvel of innovation, a city designed for the future.
