North Korea launches new construction website, rare addition to online presence

‘Korean Architecture’ promotes DPRK buildings and may be part of efforts to raise cash through overseas projects

North Korea has launched a new website promoting the country’s architecture industry, a rare addition to its limited online presence that may be part of efforts to raise cash through overseas construction projects.

The website titled “Korean Architecture” (조선건축) appears to have been launched in recent weeks, so far avoiding the typical South Korean government censorship of DPRK-linked sites.
