Why does Dubai plan to build a Mars city?

A "Mars City" will be built in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to simulate living conditions on Mars, because the UAE announced last year that it planned to build a city on Mars by 2117.

A city that simulates living conditions on Mars will be built in Dubai to provide experimental preparations for humans to immigrate to the cosmic planet in the future. The Mars Scientific City (Mars Scientific City) planned project costs 136 million US dollars (900 million yuan). The project with a total area of ??170,000 square meters aims to attract scientists from all over the world to contribute to the future development of mankind and the improvement of life.

The official website of the Dubai Municipality issued a press release on the 26th stating that the Federal National Assembly of the United Arab Emirates decided on the 21st that the Mars City plan will be located in Dubai. The advanced laboratory uses 3D printing technology, heat resistance and radiation rejection. Designed to simulate the harsh Martian environment. The press release also stated that scientists from all over the country will conduct experiments for one year after arriving, and this research will become an important reference for landing on Mars, which may also change the current production methods of energy, water and food.

The Mars City project is part of the "2117 Mars Plan" announced by the United Arab Emirates last year. It will be the most complex building structure in the world and simulate a realistic Martian environment. The exposed schematic shows that there are several high-tech dome bases in a red desert, which contain the energy needed to grow humans.
