Saudi Arabia Is Building an Entire City in a Straight Line

A "smart" city, shaped in a line? I'm not convinced it is that smart... lol. I mean that is like the one way to make sure that destinations are as far apart as possible.

Linear city isn't a new concept.

The linear city design was first developed by Arturo Soria y Mata in Madrid, Spain during the 19th century, but was promoted by the Soviet planner Nikolay Alexandrovich Milyutin in the late 1920s. (Milyutin justified placing production enterprises and schools in the same band with Engels' statement that "education and labour will be united".)

The original is now part of Madrid.
