Headline UNKRA's Help to Korea: Housing

Caption Description To replace dwellings destroyed during the fighting in Korea and by subsequent fires, to care for refugees from North Korea and to meet the normal increase in population, a million new housing units are required in South Korea, where approximately 5,000,000 persons are presently living in emergency shacks. To meet the pressing need for housing, the Republic of Korea in conjunction with the UN Korean Reconstruction Agency (UNKRA), has drawn up a long-range housing program which provides for construction of 5,500 permanent dwellings built with landcrete earth blocks, a revolutionary method introduced by UNKRA to reduce the consumption of cement and lumber. In 1953, UNKRA imported 100 Landcrete machines from South Africa for this purpose and also arranged for supervisory and instructional experts to handle them. With labor furnished by Korean army engineers, and materials and technical assistance furnished by UNKRA, new houses, like the ones shown in this photograph, are springing up over South Korea.
