If you want to know something about the resources, energy and so on, on mars, the moon and asteroids, there are several books of Springer so good in that theme. Specially: Mars Prospective Energy and Resources, Moon Prospective Energy and Resources and, as you can imagine, Asteroids Prospective Energy and Resources. They are like a collection of papers about regolith, atmosphere and so many things, even something about habitat design. I copy here the contents for more accuracy:

I have underlined the chapters more relationated with this post; although, as you can see, they are all interesting. I let you here also the links to buy them (if you can spend such amount of money). If you have access to an university's library, in most of them, you can ask them for buying a book for you, even in digital format (.pdf) to have permanent access.

http://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783642036286#otherversion=9783642441547 (the one about Mars)

www.springer.com/gp/book/9783642392436 (Asteroids)

http://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783642279683 (Moon)

They are so expensive but, if you have access by an university, I do recommend you to read them.

Best regards,

Juan.

I think a dome city's is a good idea with modules that can be attached outside like landing pads and power stations an algae farms
