The appearance of Pyongyang is changing beyond recognition in the golden age of construction.

We introduce new streets which attained a new level of happiness and civilization over the past ten years in a serial:

Mirae Scientists Street

Mirae Scientists Street is located on the banks of the picturesque Taedong River.

It is a spectacle to see the street lined with a skyscraper in the shape of an electron trajectory crowned with a symbolic tower, the handsome apartment buildings representing a sailing ship on the Taedong River, the dwelling houses whose roofs are in the shape of a bookshelf, public buildings and service facilities.

In the past, there was no eye-catching building in the place.

On his on-the-spot guidance at the construction site of the dwelling houses for lecturers of Kim Chaek University of Technology in May 2014, the respected General Secretary Kim Jong Un mapped out a plan to build modern scientists’ street on the banks of the Taedong River.

He took a measure to additionally dispatch the powerful construction forces of the Korean People’s Army in February 2015 and solved all problems arising in the construction project.

Every building of Mirae Scientists Street is associated with the energetic and meticulous guidance of the General Secretary who taught every detail of the street construction project, ranging from the formation plan to design, building work and elements of buildings as he examined them on planes and on the spot.

The service personnel of the Korean People's Army and other builders who turned out in the housing project, true to his noble intention, perfectly completed the people’s street embodying the Juche character, national identity, originality and formative arts in a matter of one year.

Mirae Scientists Street was completed in November 2015.

The street is a monument of the times epitomizing the people-first architectural idea of the Workers’ Party of Korea and a source of pride of the socialist country.
