Architecture studio ABIBOO has revealed its plans for the first sustainable city on Mars.<br />The goal is to start construction in 2054 and have the city ready for residents by 2100.<br />According to plans, “Nüwa” will be located on Tempe Mensa and feature a population of 250,000 people.<br />The residents will live inside the rock of a steep cliff chosen for the protection it offers from radiation and access it provides to indirect sunlight.<br />ABIBOO envisions tasks will be performed in “macro-buildings” inside the cliff, which will be accessible via an elevator system. <br />A train and bus system will be utilized to transport people.<br />After a brief period during which Earth will provide Nüwa with supplies, ABIBOO believes the city will become self-sustainable.<br />The highest point of the cliff will be used to grow crops, which are expected to account for 50 percent of the population’s diet.<br />An animal farming region will be placed at the bottom of the cliff.<br />In terms of getting back to Earth, launch windows for a shuttle service will be open every 26 months with a one-way ticket priced at $300,000.
