New Looks of Pyongyang
New Looks of Pyongyang
Pyongyang, capital city of the
Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, has now turned more magnificent under
the wise guidance of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un who is executing a grand
plan for its development.
A new street, called Changjon,
went up in the downtown area, followed in succession by modern streets and
residential districts–typically, Mirae Scientists, Ryomyong, Songhwa, Hwasong,
Rimhung and Jonwi streets and the Pothong Riverside Terraced Houses District–and
monumental edifices have mushroomed to facilitate development of the
educational, scientific, public health, cultural and other fields.
In particular, the project of
building 50 000 flats in Pyongyang, as decided by the Workers’ Party of Korea
at its Eighth Congress, has made progress successfully, with the result that a
new modern urban district has come into existence in the Hwasong area,
comprising super-highrise and highrise apartment blocks, which are in ideal
harmony with one another for their high formative and artistic novelty as well
as for advanced civilization, and unique commercial and neighbourhood-serving
amenities and recreation facilities which are of high symbolic quality.
Pyongyang will turn more and more
beautiful, winning still greater fame not only as living quarters of the people
for their enjoyable and civilized life but also as a showcase of a new version
of culture of the socialist Korea.
