According to the Rodong Sinmun, since the New Era Rural Revolution Program was presented at the 4th Plenary Session of the 8th Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, over 113,000 new cultural housing units have been built in 1,860 rural villages on 500 farms across the country over the past four years.
At the 4th Plenary Session of the 8th Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea , Comrade Kim Jong Un set forth the decisive transformation of the rural landscape and environment as the most important task in socialist rural construction, and at subsequent plenary meetings of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, he unfolded a splendid blueprint for rural construction.
The Central Command for Rural Construction was organized, local architectural design and construction capabilities were established, and the material and technological foundations of the building materials industry and city and county construction brigades were strengthened. A national policy was developed to secure the necessary materials for rural housing construction, and large-capacity aggregate production bases and cement depots were established in cities and counties. A fleet of ships was established to transport cement to mountainous counties, utilizing the waterways of Lake Suphung, adapting to the unfavorable natural and geographical conditions.
In 2022, the first year of rural housing construction, approximately 25,600 modern cultural housing units were built nationwide. Since then, along with the annual celebration of new homes in socialist rural areas, countless rural villages across the country have undergone remarkable transformations over the past four years.
By designing and developing rural houses in a variety of ways to reflect the characteristics of the region, the types of houses have been constantly renewed.
Last year, 32,000 rural homes, thousands more than in 2022, were built across the country with diverse structures and shapes, further enhancing the unique charm of rural areas.
