Why Saudi Arabia Is Building a Linear City

In countries like the netherland farms were build around long straight lined roads and the agricultural areas would lay outward from that road. It was done for practical organizational.reasons. at highschool i designed a city on the basis of this idea including underground industeial areas and aboveground leisure areas to provide healthy environment. That was mid 1970's. I calculated all of the dutch could live in that city and we could allow large parts of the country be used for wilding and tourism. So i am very glad to see a similar an develop. I wish i was on that team!
