Abstract

This study examines the urban changes of Hamhung city during the Japanese colonial period focusing on the road system, the location of official buildings and urban plans. In 1906, the Hamhung city wall was ruined by the Japanese military, since then Japan built new roads that run through the city wall. During the early Japanese colonial period, a new road that extended east to west and connected to the surrounding areas was built. In the late 1920's, Japan made a blueprint of Hamhung city due to the rapid development of railways and industrial areas around the city. In 1930, the Hamhung city council even made an urban plan to promote Hamhungbu(咸興府) as the "Great Hamhung City''. The Japanese government and the general of Korea announced the urban plan of Hamhung(咸興市街地計劃) to be separated into three zones. The first zone was located south of Hamhung close to the Industrial area. The second zone was Hamhung station plaza where the residential and commercial districts were located. Lastly, the third zone was northeast of Hamhung for the purpose of expanding the city's area. Due to this urban plan, Hamhung's city center was moved from the west to the east side.
