No surprise that the #Trojena winter sports zone of #NEOM has been cancelled. #SaudiArabia had already announced the Asian winter games would not be held there. Building a ski resort in the desert was stupid even before the current regional situation... #smartcities

Die Asiatischen Winterspiele 2029 können jetzt doch überraschend nicht in der Wüste Saudi-Arabiens stattfinden, weil das angekündigte Luxus-Wintersportzentrum des NEOM-Projekts leichte Probleme mit seiner Realisierung hat.

#NEOM
#NEOM was a $500B megaproject launched by #MbS in 2017, including #Oxagon (a floating industrial city), #Trojena (a mountain tourism destination) & #TheLine, which was meant to be its urban core.
The Line was marketed as a model for future cities…
NEOM was doomed to fail, as many predicted in 2017.
Least surprising, but most reassuring headline of the day:
'Saudi Arabia might not be able to host Asian Winter Games'
