Domed Mars colony with Vertical Forests

A Vertical Forest on Mars that will be well flooded by water, if humanity will not be capable to reverse the warming of the planet.

The Vertical Forest on Mars is one of the hypotheses developed by SBA China along with the Tongji University’s Future City Lab to imagine Shanghai in 2117.
Thus was born the idea – so far in the form of vision – of a colony of Shanghai on the Red Planet. A “New Shanghai” that could be born thanks to the rooting on Mars’s surface of real “eco-systemic seeds” (which would travel through an interplanetary space station) within which to create an atmosphere and a favorable climate for plants and human life.
