사우디 아라비아의 Neom 도시 개발 프로젝트가 직면한 과제

Neom의 야심찬 프로젝트는 심각한 자금 삭감과 지연으로 인해 미래 비전을 위태롭게 하고 있습니다.

### 사우디아라비아 네오엠 프로젝트의 도전 과제와 전망: 심층 분석
* ☀ Neom의 야심찬 비전에도 불구하고, 특히 주력 프로젝트인 더 라인에 대해서는 "**자금 조달 가능성이 줄어들면서**" "왕국에 먹구름이 몰려오고 있다"고 합니다.
* 🏗 당초 목표는 높이 **500m, 폭 200m**, 길이 **170km**에 달하는 두 개의 고층 빌딩을 병렬로 건설하는 것이었지만, 2024년 4월 현재 **2030년까지 **2.4km**만 완공될 것으로 예상되고 있습니다.
* 💰 더 라인의 예상 비용은 3,350억 달러에서 잠재적으로 5,000억 달러로 증가했으며, 주로 2020년 이후 **최저 수준**인 공공투자기금에서 자금을 조달하고 있습니다.
* 📉 현재 GDP의 **27.5%**에 달하는 공공 부채의 증가는 유가 하락과 함께 연간 **17억 달러**로 정체된 사우디아라비아의 재정과 투자 기대에 추가적인 압박을 가하고 있습니다.
* 🚫 또 다른 차질로, Neom의 물 수요의 30%를 충족할 예정이었던 중요한 해수 담수화 플랜트 건설이 취소되어 이 프로젝트의 지속적인 과제가 부각되고 있습니다.
* 🏨 이러한 문제에도 불구하고 럭셔리 섬 신달라와 미래형 스키 리조트 트로예나와 같은 소규모 프로젝트가 진행되고 있으며, 후자는 2029년에 **아시안 동계 올림픽을 개최할 예정입니다**.
* 🛠 공사가 계속 진행됨에 따라 Neom의 야심찬 계획은 여전히 면밀한 조사를 받고 있으며, 그 **실현 가능성**과 궁극적으로 무엇이 **실현**될 것인지에 대한 상당한 의문이 제기되고 있습니다.
* 🔍 Neom의 미래는 불확실하며, 사우디 아라비아가 이러한 도전과제를 어떻게 헤쳐나가면서 원대한 비전을 달성할 수 있을지는 시간이 지나야만 알 수 있습니다.

Despite the blazing sun in Saudi Arabia, dark clouds are gathering over the kingdom, especially in the west and the vast region where its revolutionary urban planning project, Neom, is due to be built. The country had done its best to keep the sun shining around these four letters with worldwide communication campaigns. But this flagship project, largely the wish of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, is now seeing its future dimmed, especially its flagship project, The Line. While on the construction side, smaller projects seem to be taking shape. Neom is weighed down by a relative drop in the kingdom's funding possibilities and rumors of drastic cuts to The Line's work site. And this new episode of Looking 4 will explore all the turbulence shaking up this iconic Saudi Arabian project. It was news that sounded like a thunderclap in the skies over The Line on April 5th, 2024. The news website Bloomberg published an article indicating that this futuristic construction, which aims to revolutionize current

urban planning will not be finished in 2030. Far from it. It has to be said that the initial project was ambitious. The aim was to build two parallel skyscrapers, 500m high and 200m wide, stretching over 170km in a linear megacity promoted as eco-responsible and ultra-connected. It would eventually be home to some 9 million inhabitants. Citing a source who wished to remain anonymous and confidential documents they were able to access, Bloomberg's journalists claimed that by 2030, only 2.4km of the project will have been built to accommodate 300,000 people. This information was widely picked up by the world's media but has not been confirmed or denied by the Kingdom. If confirmed, this drastic reduction of the project by 2030 would be a huge blow to the Neom region's most emblematic construction project. However, it does not in itself represent a definitive end.

to what some specialists describe as an architectural utopia. Indeed, as we've explained at length in previous videos, the line was designed in modules that are almost independent of one another. With this vision of interconnected but independent modules, it's not impossible that a first part could be built before others are built later. But with the announced cutbacks, the project will probably take decades to complete. If it ever does. If confirmed, this mini line could sound like a cruel disavowal for Saudi Arabia's crown prince, who's constantly promoted this project. In fact, he presented it as a key element of his global strategy vision 2030. This program aims to modernize the country and find a more sustainable economic model in anticipation of the end of the oil industry rent. To achieve this, the financial floodgates seemed open. The construction of the line alone was expected to cost around $335 billion, according to the Saudi government, rising to $500 billion if the entire Neom

regions taken into account, estimates that would have to be doubled or even tripled to be realistic, according to some experts. From the outset, the investments been mainly financed by the Public Investment Fund, Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund. But the economic signals sent out by the country are rather pessimistic. The Wall Street Journal noted that the fund's assets stood at $15 billion, its lowest level since it began reporting figures in 2020. Another worrying sign is that the Saudi government's public debt has been rising in recent years, reaching 27.5% of GDP, according to the French Ministry of the Economy. This figure should be put into perspective as France's public debt stands at 110% of GDP. This gloomy backdrop is further exacerbated by the relatively low price of oil compared with previous years, which means that Saudi Arabia is no longer able to run on black gold. Lastly, in addition to Neom, the country's announcing an ever

increasing number of oversize projects, a Dragon Ball theme park, or the construction of a two-kilometer high tower north of the capital Riyadh, are just some of the latest mega projects to be financed to get by. Saudi Arabia wants to attract foreign investors. But despite intense promotional campaigns, the returns are not living up to expectations. While Neom masterminds were planning to bring in $100 billion a year in foreign investment, this figure stagnated at $17 billion a year between 2017 and 2022, according to Bloomberg. In another sign that the overall project is beginning to wind down, the huge seawater desalination plant due to break ground at Oxagon has been canceled, supported by French company Veolia and Japanese firm Itochu. The plant was to supply 30% of the drinking water needs of Neom residents, industries, and businesses, according to specialized website Meed. The project was expected to cost between $1.5 and $2 billion.

The joint development agreement between the parties has expired, and no further agreements have been reached. Neom explains that the cancellation of the project follows changes in forecasts for the region's water requirements. Nevertheless, the Neom project continues to move forward. But before we go any further, let me introduce War Thunder, the sponsor of our video. War Thunder is the most extensive vehicle combat game ever made and is available now for free on PC and consoles. Take control of over 2500 tanks, planes, helicopters, and ships of ten major nations, ranging from biplanes and armored cars of the 1920s to the fighter jets and main battle tanks of today.

Silver Lions, and seven days of a premium account. This is a limited-time offer, so don't lose time. Now back to neon and a recent promotional video. Progress on the various construction sites is highlighted. While the lines mentioned very succinctly, with only a few seconds to spare, there's more time to present. Sindalah. This island, designed as a Paradise for wealthy travelers, is nearing completion on the shores of the Red Sea. This luxury island is scheduled for delivery in 2024. Even so, this deadline seems hard to meet. Although work is progressing rapidly. The structures of the luxury hotels are now visible, and leisure facilities such as the golf lawn stand out on images. For the time being, no official opening date has been announced. The emphasis is more on partnerships with luxury hotel chains than on the working conditions of the site's workers. It has to be said that after years of announcements and 3D

promotional videos, the Saudi kingdom wants to move ahead more quickly, not least to meet a schedule they've set themselves. Such is the case with the Trojena site, the famous futuristic ski resort to be built in the Hejaz Mountains. Trojan has been awarded the Asian Winter games in 2029. Official images, as well as videos and snapshots posted on social networks, show that major construction work is underway in the region, with a heavy presence of construction machinery. Pro-government sources claimed that excavation and leveling of the future ski resort is complete. This information should be treated with caution as it's not been officially confirmed. However, one thing is certain. The first of 5200 trucks arrived in China on July 28th, 2024, to deliver part of the 130,000 tons of steel that will be used to build the resort village. But the pace will have to be stepped up if all the promises

made in the presentation. Videos are to be fulfilled. From the ski slopes to the huge water reservoir to the 330-meter high skyscraper, another project announced with great fanfare is Oxagon, a city half built on stilts that is to be the industrial heart and port of a region the size of Belgium. Like the line, very few images are circulating on the progress of the work, but the structure of the future port is beginning to take shape, and certain shots. According to official announcements, the first terminal is due to open in 2025. As with Neon's other construction sites, the biggest advance is concerned the living quarters of the workers responsible for building the various sites, and there are a lot of them with some 140,000 people working in this immense region. According to Neom, another piece of information newly revealed in June by Neom is Magna, a luxury coastal destination grouping together the various tourist sites highlighted in recent months.

But under a single banner and all 11 projects spread over 120 km each in its own way to associate Neom and Saudi Arabia as a first-class destination for affluent tourists. Dolphin then head for J'adore, a seaside resort with a spectacular hotel complex, to which will be added a world-class golf course. According to the organizers, rising out of the coastal landscape, a 190 luxury apartments and a series of restaurants and boutiques are planned. Nearly 200 villas will also be built around the golf course. Finally, an 80-room luxury hotel will complete the offering. Ever larger and more impressive, the various sites announced in recent months remain in the vein of Needham's first announcements, even if their size and ambition is more restricted. Where the line aims to accommodate up to 9 million people, Jorma is targeting 6000 residents. They'll be divided between the 500 apartments and 700 villas arranged around the Marina.

Once again, the 3D images are sensational, with constructions that look like something out of a science fiction movie. As for the rest, it's difficult to predict today what will actually see the light of day and in what shape. The challenges posed by this unique construction site are immense, and the reality of certain projects is already becoming apparent. It remains to be seen how Saudi Arabia will face and overcome them.

Looking 4 (En)

Neom의 더 라인 프로젝트가 직면한 과제

Neom의 야심찬 도시 계획 프로젝트인 더 라인이 차질을 빚고 완공이 지연될 가능성이 있습니다.

블룸버그의 보고서에 따르면 2030년까지 프로젝트의 2.

4km만 건설되어 30만 명을 수용할 수 있으며, 이는 초기 목표와는 거리가 멀다고 합니다.

이 프로젝트의 모듈식 설계는 향후 건설에 대한 희망을 제시하지만, 발표된 예산 삭감으로 인해 완공 일정이 수십 년 동안 연장될 수 있습니다.

사우디 아라비아의 고군분투하는 대형 프로젝트

사우디아라비아의 공공투자기금 자산은 2020년 이후 최저치인 150억 달러로 감소한 반면, 정부의 공공부채는 GDP의 27.

저유가와 2017년부터 2022년까지 연간 17억 달러에 불과한 외국인 투자 정체로 인해 경제적 어려움이 가중되고 있습니다.

Neom의 주요 해수 담수화 플랜트가 취소되고 공동 개발 계약이 만료됨에 따라 이 프로젝트의 야심찬 계획이 축소될 가능성이 있습니다.

전쟁의 천둥과 신달라 섬의 개발

워 썬더는 저사양 컴퓨터에서도 원활하게 실행되는 놀라운 그래픽과 사실적인 음향 효과를 제공하며, 7천만 명 이상의 플레이어로 구성된 글로벌 커뮤니티를 자랑합니다.

신규 플레이어는 기간 한정으로 프리미엄 전차 및 프리미엄 계정을 포함한 대규모 보너스 팩을 받을 수 있습니다.

한편, 부유한 여행객을 위해 설계된 신달라 섬은 럭셔리 호텔과 레저 시설로 완공을 앞두고 있으며, 트로제나 스키 리조트는 2024년까지 리조트 마을에 13만 톤의 철강을 공급하는 것을 목표로 건설이 진행 중입니다.

사우디 아라비아에서 진행 중인 Neom의 야심찬 프로젝트

Neom은 죽마 위에 세워진 도시 옥사곤을 벨기에 면적의 산업 중심지이자 항구로 개발 중이며, 2025년에 첫 번째 터미널이 개장할 예정입니다.

럭셔리 해안 여행지인 마그나는 다양한 관광지를 한데 모아 190개의 고급 아파트와 세계적 수준의 골프장, 화려한 호텔 단지를 조성할 예정입니다.

이 야심찬 프로젝트는 네옴과 사우디아라비아를 부유한 관광객을 위한 최고의 목적지로 연결시키는 것을 목표로 하며, 건설에 참여하는 14만 명의 근로자에게 거주지를 제공하는 데 중점을 두고 있습니다.

사우디 아라비아의 독특한 건설 프로젝트의 도전 과제

사우디아라비아의 건설 프로젝트의 3D 이미지는 놀랍고 미래지향적이지만, 현실은 도전적인 것으로 드러나고 있습니다.

건설 현장에서 직면한 엄청난 어려움은 분명해지고 있으며, 사우디가 이를 어떻게 극복할 수 있을지는 불확실합니다.

이 영상은 워썬더의 후원을 받아 모든 플랫폼에서 신규 및 복귀 플레이어를 위한 보너스 팩을 제공합니다.
