NEOM has announced the appointment of world-leading partners to deliver the core city planning, design and engineering for the first phase of THE LINE, the linear smart city under construction in NEOM.
NEOM said Delugan Meissl Associate Architects (DMAA), Gensler and Mott MacDonald are collaborating with THE LINE’s design, development and project delivery teams to provide urban design, planning consultancy and infrastructure design for the first phase of the city.
NEOM, with the support of this group and with advanced and rigorous methodologies has created a sophisticated design to deliver on THE LINE’s urban objectives. This will then be followed by the planning and design of the neighbourhoods, in phase one, which will be undertaken by a suite of architects, starting early 2025.
THE LINE Chief Development Officer Denis Hickey said: “As development and construction of THE LINE progresses, we have established a unique partnership that brings world-leading city design and engineering expertise to deliver Phase One. Collaboration is at the core of this, with a city-wide best practice group that will showcase how innovation can change the way we consider, design and build cities forever. This reflects NEOM’s vision and global ambition.”
