Mars city question
#7
I would think that any sort of even semi-permanent Martian base - let alone one designed to hold hundreds - would aim to be as self-sufficient as possible as quickly as possible due to the LOE and challenges of constantly shipping supplies and making the base dependent in the short term on such supply shipments.

While it wouldn't be possible to make the base fully self supporting in the short term, things like growing food on site and getting water locally (if at all possible) seem likely to be priorities. Living off the land as much as possible seems a likely strategy.
