We could be just a decade or two away from an actual city on Mars, thanks to the team at “SONet” (Sustainable Offworld Network), which includes Dr. Gisela Detrell from the Institute of Space Systems at the University of Stuttgart (Germany). They developed ‘Nüwa,’ a network of five cities that offers its residents easy access to resources and mobility on a long-term basis. It will be able to expand and grow without supplies or support from Earth, but rather resources from the Red Planet itself. Read more for a video, additional pictures and information.
Nüwa should be able to accomodate a population of 250,000 humans who will reside in macro-buildings excavated inside cliffs as well as Green-Domes, which can double as green parks. The main food source in the city would come from the cultivation of the crops, while micro-algae may also be an important component of their diets. How will people get there? Well, a shuttle service has been proposed capable of transporting people between the planets, leaving every 26 months, with each trip taking anywhere from one to three months, priced at around $300,000 USD one-way.

The entire city has 278 square meters per person. It also includes some areas at the lower part of the cliff, which is what we are calling The Valley. Those spaces covered the main communal city areas. These caves will host parks, stadiums, or auditoriums. From them, thanks to transparent walls and ceilings, you will be able to contemplate the landscapes of Mars,” said Alfredo Muñoz, an architect and founder of the Abiboo Studio.
