Colonization of Venus

The colonization of Venus is the proposed process of establishing human settlements on the planet Venus. Due to the planet's extremely hostile surface environment, proposals for settling Venus focus on habitats floating in the upper-middle atmosphere or on settlement of the surface contingent on first terraforming the planet.

The colonization of Venus has been a subject of many works of science fiction since before the dawn of spaceflight, and is still discussed from both a fictional and a scientific standpoint.
