Wisong Scientists Dwelling District was built in Juche 103 (2014) in the Unjong science park in the northern suburb of Pyongyang. It was in accordance with a national measure to provide scientists and technicians with good living conditions.
In the district are 20-odd apartment blocks with some 1 000 flats that were erected in a matter of seven months, primary and junior middle schools and kindergarten, and other public service facilities, including Wisong Scientists Hospital, restaurants, shops and Wisong Health Complex, all blending well together.
The flats are furnished perfectly for the convenience of the scientists and their families, and public service facilities as well as sports parks laid out in the district are always crowded with the residents who are enjoying their sports and leisure activities.
The dwellers of the apartment blocks are scientists of the State Academy of Sciences. Seen among those who are on the way to work in the morning are a grey-haired scientist of the Mathematics Research Institute, the director of the Information Science and Technology Institute who was designated as one of the top scientists in 2015, a section chief of the Faculty of Dynamics at the University of Sciences and a researcher in his thirties at the Laser Institute who is TWAS young affiliate. They are either preoccupied in deep thought or having heated debates.
When the night falls, merry laughter and singing voices coming from the brightly-lit windows fill the district which has been vibrant with delight and optimism during the daytime.
The lighted windows that remain far into the night reflect the determination of the scientists to contribute to building a thriving country with greater successes in their scientific research.
