The First City on Mars: An Urban Planner’s Guide to Settling the Red Planet

byJustin B. Hollander

Hundreds of novels, films, and TV shows have speculated about what it would be like for us Earthlings to build cities on Mars. Drawing on scientific research, fieldwork, and carefully chosen case studies, the narrative gives The First City on Mars a concrete sense of time, place, and consequence. Across the book, the urban planner’s guide to settling the red planet becomes a way to examine power, adaptation, responsibility, and change within history and science. The First City on Mars ultimately offers a nuanced guide to the evidence, the human stakes, and the consequences that make this subject worth revisiting.
