Our problems might have been solved by engineering
Like Jacque said many times: most of our problems have an engineering nature. Too bad in the trade-based world solving them is not a Humanity's first priority..
UPD: This video should be considered as an illustration of the interesting engineering ideas and as a possibility to questionize a structure and efficiency of the existing cities, towns, villages and not in any circumstances as a project to be supported or invested in, since it might be just yet another scammy project promising "the revolution" but without any real intention to do it. See this criticizing video: ytb.trom.tf/watch?v=rB_X5ZUcZl…

NEOM | What is THE LINE?
What if we could start again? THE LINE rethinks everything we know about how people live, work and play. A 170 km-long vertical city, designed around people, rather than cars. A revolution in urban living.Invidious

in reply to Roma • •hm...unfortunately I think this is quite a "scammy" thing. Sounds good in theory, except for the last part where they talk positively about trade, but I recommend you also watch this video ytb.trom.tf/watch?v=rB_X5ZUcZl… :P
Unfortunately many companies are very good to lure us in, and I got sucked into a bunch of these too...impractical, money oriented, scams. I only recently found out about the above one, but sounds like many other projects I've heard of.
Anyway, if you have the time also watch the video I sent you.
I agree with what you said, but I am skeptical about this "LINE" thing.

in reply to Roma • •Ah, yeah, that's true.. As any of such good looking projects might be scammy in the marketing world. Of course, it would never be possible for these ideas to come true because it implies that it is achievable in our trade-base world, but I doubt it ever is. We have seen it so many times with other good ideas around, like social medias, cloud technologies, etc., which in general very useful and helpful to people, but they turned out to become trade poisoned after all and right now - not more than just the shadows of previously great services..
I liked in that video that they are speaking about that the very essense of our cities and structures is not effective, being built too many centures ago, but we keep maintaining it - a thought, which is not told too much these days. All is focused on preserving the "cultural legacy", so those who is owning all of it can keep make money of it in different ways.
Also they speak about self-sustainability and efficiency and that in general we don't need that much space to be taken by the leaving structures - to me is a very avoidable

Also they speak about self-sustainability and efficiency and that in general we don't need that much space to be taken by the leaving structures - to me is a very avoidable discussion nowadays as well and in the same time - a very insteresting engineering task, which is very real to be solved. I still think that behind those ideas might be very good minds possibly.
Anyways, you are probably right and this project is not the best way to promote those discussions and it might be considered as that without a good explanation what I meant..
