NEOM stands as the most ambitious and most scrutinised giga-project within Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 portfolio. Announced in October 2017 by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, NEOM is conceived as a cognitive city spanning approximately 26,500 square kilometres of northwest Saudi Arabia in Tabuk Province, stretching along the Red Sea coast and extending into mountainous terrain that rises over 2,500 metres above sea level. The project carries an estimated investment commitment exceeding $500 billion, making it one of the largest planned urban developments in human history.
