NEOM's The Line construction halted; Saudi megacity project scaled back

Construction of The Line, the 170-km linear city in Saudi Arabia's NEOM project, has been halted as of May 2026, according to reports. The project, once a flagship of Saudi Vision 2030, faces significant scaling back, though official confirmation and details on the extent of the reduction remain unclear. This signals a major setback for one of the world's most ambitious infrastructure projects and may reflect broader economic constraints.
