The present of the Saudi Future City Neom Initiative

The future city of Saudi Arabia, Neom, is a new city development plan announced in 2017 by King Muhammad bin Salman. Here, you can use a cloud generator to make artificial rain, a housekeeper robot helps with the housework, and you can travel to an island full of dinosaur robots like Jurassic Park, robot martial arts, and flying taxis. The residents of Neom are under full surveillance through drone and face authentication.

Prince Bin Salman is carrying out the construction of the future city of Neom at a cost of $500 billion (KRW 607 trillion). To do this, more than 20,000 tribes in the Sharma region near the border between Egypt and Jordan, where Neom is expected to be built, must be forcibly relocated.

The Wall Street Journal obtained a 2,300-page secret document from the Boston Consulting Group and McKinsey & Company, US consulting firms that participated in the Neo-Om project. According to this, it is said that it was the opportunity to come up with the idea of Neom that Prince Bin Salman should do his finances, and when he looked at his own map on Google Earth, the northwest quarter was blank.

A giant artificial moon, a housekeeper robot, a dinosaur robot jointly developed with NASA, as well as a project to modify the human genome and create a strong body, and even create sand shining in the dark like a clock face with no technical realization method for a while. I also want to make it.

The city of the future, Neom, is the biggest project from the Crown Prince, the de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia, to radically change the energy-dependent economy. Of course, the Crown Prince is suspected of being behind the murder of a dissident journalist at the Turkish consulate, and is also known as the person who led the military intervention in the civil war in Yemen. In any case, some of the technologies of the Neo-Om project envisioned by an American consulting firm do not even exist yet. Related information can be found here .

Through the monthly AHC PC and HowPC magazine era, he has watched 'technology age' in online IT media such as ZDNet, electronic newspaper Internet manager, editor of Consumer Journal Ivers, TechHolic publisher, and editor of Venture Square. I am curious about this market that is still full of vitality.
