10 minutes reading into the madness of this project, it's claimed sustainability, and you realize that the amounts to be spent there, and the fact that it's build on the necessity to solve dozens of huge technological hurdles, make it a pure waste of money. This is a project championed by MBS himself, and no-one dared telling him it was nonsense. Architects and consulting companies are doing what they do best with these types of pie-in-the-sky project: play along and take the money. The vision is a nightmare of population control and surveillance. It wants to be sustainable, but go cool nearly 150M m2 of glass walls in one of the most inhospitable hot environment for humans... and tell me this is sustainable. There are flying pods and glow-in-the-dark sand scapes... Nothing in that project is energy efficient or makes even little sense. It's a vanity project. The money could have financed real breakthrough in science and engineering. Instead, it's wasted moving sand around. They won't even be able to build and host the 1.5km they now target.
