Pyongyang, North Korea · 31 people · Heritage City
The Pyongyang City People's Committee and the State Planning Commission manage a capital purpose built as the showcase of the DPRK's socialist urban vision — maintaining the 170-metre Juche Tower, Kim Il-sung Square, the Grand People's Study House, and the 114,000-capacity Rungrado 1st of May Stadium, operating the Pyongyang Metro (one of the world's deepest and most ornate transit systems), and coordinating food and goods distribution through the state rationing (PDS) system.
The seat for Pyongyang on the Board of Mayors is open. Seat #1 is yours to take.
The Pyongyang City People's Committee coordinates the world's most precisely choreographed public ceremonial infrastructure — Kim Il-sung Square's mass parades involve months of rehearsal logistics, synchronized formation training across hundreds of thousands of citizen participants, precisely timed lighting sequences on the square's facades, and pyrotechnic coordination across the Taedong River, making large scale public ceremony management the city's single largest recurring operational undertaking.
The Pyongyang Metro operates at depths exceeding 100 metres — originally constructed to dual-function as nuclear-blast shelters and transit infrastructure — featuring ornate marble-and-mosaic station halls with chandeliers and socialist-realist murals considered state artworks, requiring the municipal transit authority to maintain both deep-tunnel mechanical engineering systems and heritage-quality tilework and monumental painting conservation across stations that function simultaneously as shelters, galleries, and commuter infrastructure.
How a term works
Take office and every day brings a live situation from the city's services: a decision to make and a result that is measured. A term is scored on approval, infrastructure, environment and innovation, inside a real budget, and every mayor's work adds to Pyongyang's own record on the Board of Mayors. You are not alone in office: message and chat with other mayors, form a council with friends, trade with nearby cities and send aid. Cities rise together: there is no losing city.
