Pyongyang, June 29 (KCNA) -- Projects to facelift eight main
streets of Pyongyang including Sungri, Kaesonmun, Chilsongmun and
Podunamu streets are at full swing. Dwelling buildings for over
13,000 households are being reconstructed or repaired at the final
stage.
While keeping the original style of architecture of each building,
its outer walls are being plastered on vertical and horizontal
lines and its walls and verandas decorated in relief in harmony
with the formation of the streets.
The buildings painted in light grey, light green and light pink
colors make people feel refreshed.
Wooden sashes of dwelling houses have been replaced with plastic
ones and windows installed on verandas.
The inside of apartments along Sungri, Podunamu and Kaesonmun
Streets has been repaired. Their water, sewage and electric
facilities have been replaced as a whole and sanitations for more
than 1,700 households built.
Public service facilities are also changing their looks to add
beauty to the city. They are of various architectural styles such
as circular, vaulted and zigzag shapes.
Many porches have been built and outer walls colorfully tiled and
painted to suit the building shapes.
Sidewalks along Sungri Street have been also paved with
color-blocks of various patterns.
