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 Government, 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 Landerete machines from South Africa for this purpose, and arranged for supervisory and instructional experts to handle them in carrying out the housing program.
This photograph shows several rows of dwellings completed under the program which is progressing at full speed.
