RIYADH: Saudi Arabia is planning the world’s largest buildings in a mostly unpopulated part of the country as part of an entirely new $500 billion development called Neom, according to people familiar with the matter.
Neom, the brainchild of Saudi Crown Prince and de facto ruler Mohammed bin Salman, is planning to build twin skyscrapers about 500 meters (1,640 feet) tall that stretch horizontally for dozens of miles, the people said.
