In harmony with nature: The Neom vision
Synopsis
NEOM represents a chance to bypass legacy infrastructure that has made it difficult to truly reorient urban design around sustainability in other cities.
ET Spotlight
For much of the 20th century, technological progress and industrialisation came at the expense of our environment. Today, we are beginning to see the cost of this trade-off: rising global temperatures and sea levels, increasingly severe natural disasters, air pollution and contaminated water. This reality demands a new approach to urban living, one that views human development and environmental conservation as complementary, not opposing forces. To secure a more sustainable future, and protect our increasingly fragile environment, we must find new ways that humans can live in harmony with nature.
