Description

    - The Line represents an under-construction futuristic linear city consisting of a continuously built skyscraper that would be free from roads, cars, and emissions. 

    - The project is 200 meters wide, 170 kilometers long, and 500 meters above sea level. 

    - It utilizes the concept of Zero Gravity Urbanism – which involves layering city functions vertically for efficient accessibility. There would be movement not just linearly but also in the vertical direction between levels to create a three-dimensional urban fabric. 

    - Hierarchy in mobility systems with high-speed rail, metro, and horizontal transport corridors

    - City to run on net-zero basis with 100% renewable energy sources

    - Accommodates 9 million residents on a footprint of 34 square kilometers, reducing infrastructure needs. 

    - Zero-car environment contributing to a 100% sustainable transport system. Through this the project aims to reduce commutes, enhance leisure time, and increase disposable incomes. 

    -The compact nature would accommodate more population in lesser area, thereby preventing urban sprawl. 

    - Emphasizes nature preservation, contributing to saving 95% land as compared to traditional cities. 

    - Complete digitization of city design for innovative solutions. Advanced tech planning logistics and modular construction will be used for efficient development.
