*"Hamhung, the second-largest North Korean city: Dynasty urbanism, colonial
urbanism and socialist urbanism"*

Presented by Dr. Hyungmin Kim, Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of
Architecture, Building and Planning, The University of Melbourne

Abstract:
Hamhung is the second-largest city in North Korea with a population of
769,000. It has shown a unique development trajectory starting from an
important regional military and administrative town. Changes in the
structure and function of Hamhung were wide-ranging prior to and during
colonial rule (1910–1945). After independence and the division, the Korean
War (1950–1953) broke out, leaving Hamhung in utter ruins. The immediate
reaction after the Korean War was to reconstruct the city, which was
carried out with aid from socialist fraternal countries, notably East
Germany. Socialist urban development patterns followed.
