A display explains the concepts behind The Line project.

The exhibition gives people a closer look at the proposal for a skyscraper 170 kilometres long, 200 metres wide and more than 300m tall.

The linear city is expected to be home to nine million people and will be part of the Neom development on the Red Sea.

The project’s designers are aiming to build a sustainable, eco-city where people live, work and spend time and can travel quickly from end to end.

The Line's designers hope that the small, linear footprint will minimise the effect on the surrounding environment.

The project will include a high-speed rail network as well as other modern forms of transport.

The Line exhibition comprises blueprints, models of the megaproject and concept art for the proposal.

The exhibits show an urban space with wide-open areas spread over numerous levels dappled in sunlight and shade.

The designers say the structure and design will provide natural ventilation and the coolest temperatures in the GCC.
