Con el café en la mano oigo esto por primera vez. Los Saudís construyen una ciudad sostenible en forma de muralla que esperan tenga 9 millones de habitantes. Parece un vídeo de esos de pelotazo ponzi, pero al parecer el 20% del acero del mundo se está destinando a dicho proyecto lisérgico.

It is no secret that Neom is Saudi Crown Prince MBS‘ futuristic vision. Spanning 26,500 square kilometers, or about 10,230 square miles in the northwest of the country along the Red Sea coast, it is an ambitious $1.5 trillion development advancing at breakneck speed to create a new way of life. Unsurprisingly, this giga-project, 24 times the size of Hong Kong, is currently consuming one-fifth of all steel produced globally.

Neom’s Chief Investment Officer, Manar Al Moneef, stated on Monday, “Neom is going to be the largest customer over the next decade. If you look at our demand in logistics, it’s 5 percent of the global logistics market.”

According to World Steel, in 2023, the world produced nearly 1.9 billion metric tons of crude steel. Neom consumed 20%, which would equate to 380 million metric tons. To put this in perspective, the entire U.S. consumed only 104 million metric tons in 2022. So Neom’s consumption is approximately 3.65 times higher than that of the United States, highlighting Neom’s massive scale, as it far exceeds the steel consumption of a major industrial nation.

While some projects, such as Sindalah and Trojena, are nearing completion for upcoming events, others will face delays. For instance, The Line, initially envisioned as a 170-km-long stretch to be completed by 2045. However, it is now projected to reach only 5 kilometers by 2030.

I think they decided to limit The Line to 1 km or something, as opposed to the originally planned 130km.

They'll keep the island that has a few layers of technically not being Saudi Arabia for their gambling resorts though, I bet.
