Saudi Arabia’s ambitious project to build a 170-kilometer city in the desert is making significant strides, according to the latest updates from chief development officer Dennis Hickey in Australia. The construction, marked as the biggest earthworks operation ever, aims to complete phase one by 2030, with foundations reportedly well underway.
However, skepticism surrounds the project, as some observers question the sustainability and success of such an extensive endeavor. Critics point to comments on video updates, with one expressing excitement about exploring the deserted city when it’s inevitably abandoned. The massive scale of the earth and water movement, coupled with promises of a sustainable city with zero emissions, has sparked skepticism among the public.
The project’s success or failure is a subject of debate, with contrasting opinions on whether Saudi Arabia can fulfill its ambitious vision and shock the world positively or face significant challenges leading to potential failure. As construction continues at a rapid pace, the international community awaits further developments and progress updates on this colossal undertaking in the desert.
