The Workers’ Party of Korea stresses the need to hold fast to diversity as the lifeline in regional construction in the new era when the regions change and rural communities develop.

Structures should be built in a way that they preserve the features peculiar to relevant regions. Though their missions and uses are the same, they should not be built repetitively and monotonously, but constructed to go well with the surrounding environment while preserving the regional features according to the mountainous, coastal and flat areas.

Construction is itself creation, and originality and non-repetition are the natures of creation.

Structures should be built in an environment-friendly, diversified and original way by taking into account the characteristic features of the relevant regions.

There are areas with strong wind and of wet land, cold and dry areas, mountainous areas, flat areas with many plains and coastal areas by the sea in the country.

In view of the supply of building materials, some areas are rich in stone resources and others have favourable conditions for the production of tiles or coating materials.

More important is that the customs which have historically been passed on in each region differ from each other and accordingly the people’s demands in life are also different.

The city of Samjiyon, which has undergone a sea change in recent years, is the standard of a mountainous city of culture.

Each section and building in the city is non-repetitive and has clear distinction. All structures preserve their unique charms and features, fully embodying originality, non-repetition and formative and artistic qualities.

Advanced architectural techniques should be widely applied to suit the actual conditions in the direction of giving full play to the characteristic features of each region.

Only when regional construction is planned and pushed forward with a good knowledge of not only the natural and geographical features of the relevant regions but also the economic conditions and manners and customs peculiar to them and by fully reflecting them, can each structure be built as the one the regional people would like and welcome.

If regional construction is forged ahead to suit the actual conditions by adhering to diversity as the lifeline, all regions of the DPRK can be turned into civilized and developed places showing the specific features peculiar to them.
