Bloomberg has a good running series on this 'city of the future'. As you will expect consultants are making good money on this.

I personally can't get enough of this foolish mega-project, I love the dry reporting on it.

Here's one of the latest: https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2022-mbs-neom-saudi-arabi...

There was also a very telling interview with architects, builders, concept people etc... and after talking about Neom in all enthusiasm for a bit the interviewer asked each a simple question: would you live in Neom?

And the uncomfortable shifting in the seats and vague answers that followed were very telling. No one believes in this, not even the people working on it.
