New documentary reveals that 21,000 laborers have died working Saudi Vision 2030


According to the expose by ITV, more than 21,000 workers have died since 2017 while working on Saudi Vision 2030 and NEOM.

Some architecture offices like Mecanoo, Morphosis, Coop Himmelb(l)au, and Adjaye Associates have resigned from NEOM after human rights abuses came to light, but most have not. And so is UNStudio, Pei Cobb Freed & Partners, Gensler, Mark Foster Gage, HOK, Studio Fuksas, Oyler Wu Collaborative, Tom Wiscombe Architecture, and others.
