The Line skyscraper city project in Saudi Arabia has stalled (4 photos)

Corruption during the construction of The Line is reportedly threatening to derail the project. There are cost overruns, fraud, and personnel scandals. All of this has impacted the project; instead of the promised 170 kilometers of skyscraper-like wall for 9 million residents, they plan to build only 2.4–5 kilometers by 2030. And yes, the $1 trillion price tag was previously mentioned, but now the price tag has risen to $8.8 trillion.
