NEOM CITIES OF THE FUTURE NEOM CITIES OF THE FUTURE

NEOM - the smart city, the city without roads and cars. NEOM is the future. NEOM is going to be an accelerator of human progress, representing the future of innovation in business and sustainability.

To give more of an explanation; NEOM is a new project meant to build an all-new city based on the most recent urban innovations, and although it's still barely laid it’s foundations, developers have guaranteed that their grand ideas are not devoured by the sands.

NEOM gets its name from the Greek prefix neo which means “ new ” and the ‘M’ comes from the first letter of the word ‘Mustaqbal’ which means future in Arabic. NEOM is said to be built in the Northwest of Saudi Arabia, and is said to be the size of Belgium! NEOM is claimed to be a place of innovations, creativity and for dreaming the impossible. It’s may be an entirely new way of living; sustainable living.

So what is in NEOM? NEOM’s got 4 different regions within it. The Oxagon is a floating industrial port, used to sell and trade goods across the Red Sea Its advanced manufacturing will jumpstart future industries Trojena is the first major skiing place in the Arabian Peninsula!

There’s Sindalah; one of NEOM’s many islands which is said to have luxury beaches, resorts and attractions Last but not least NEOM has ‘The Line’, a city said to be 170 km long built in the shape of… a line! The Line has no roads, no cars and no emission within it.

What makes NEOM different from other ambitious plans? NEOM uses solar power, wind energy, and green hydrogen NEOM will be one of the world's leading green hydrogen producers, as it is one of the few places in the world where it can be produced competitively and in large quantities Saudi Arabia's master plan is to increase non-oil related revenue and boost economic growth Not to mention, NEOM is also within easy reach of the world, as 40% of the world is only 6 hours away from NEOM!

If all these claims are true, then the world so desperately needs NEOM, because it needs change. NEOM can change the way the world does business, it can change the way we protect the planet and the way we live, for the better!
