I heard they are planning a large new sea barrage. The new construction all seems to be smaller buildings. What I'd really like to know is what quality construction we're looking at, though unfortunately I see no way to answer that question. Reports seem to indicate more cars in the streets, and more goods being circulated. So I think we are seeing genuine if slow growth in the DPRK. Though whether that will continue given geopolitical changes is anyone's guess. Interesting, I wonder how much construction is going on outside Pyongyang.
