  • Cultural Facilities As an Urban Growth Medium: Chicago and Pittsburgh Examples
    Cultural Facilities as an Urban Growth Medium: Chicago and Pittsburgh Examples A Paper Presented by Margery al Chalabi ACG: The al Chalabi Group, Ltd. WSE: World Society for Ekistics Annual Meeting Tinos, Greece September 24-29, 2002 Cultural Facilities as an Urban Growth Medium: Chicago and Pittsburgh Examples I. Introduction Over the past four decades (1960-2000), American central cities have undergone successive waves of in-and out-migration which have profoundly changed both their economic roles and their urban character. • The early 60’s saw an ebb in in-migration to northern cities from workers from the south; and growth in suburbanization, as highways and new housing proliferated. • The seventies produced industrial losses from the rust belt and expansions into the Sunbelt cities, accompanied by accelerating suburbanization in both. • The eighties produced major contractions in basic industries and a spurt in professional and service jobs. The central cities and their downtowns produced record-breaking square footages of offices to reclaim businesses and their workers, many of whom commuted, by train, from dormitory communities. • By the early nineties, urban areas had stretched well beyond reasonable commute times; and suburban office parks – particularly those around hub airports – had begun to compete with or overshadow traditional downtowns. Some urban areas, such as Atlanta, Phoenix, and Los Angeles, grew into multi- nucleated matrices and give rise to the term “Edge City”. • The late nineties and turn of the century witnessed a cultural renaissance in many central cities. Theater, music and dance are expanding, building new facilities and enlarging their audiences. Museums – both large and small – are building new and renovating old structures and expanding collections.

  • Rona Nesbit, Executive Vice President
    SENATE & HOUSE URBAN AFFAIRS COMMITTEES PUBLIC HEARING ON THE FUTURE OF PENNSYLVANIA'S CITIES, LARGE AND SMALL Wednesday, May 29th at 10 a.m. Allegheny County Courthouse’s Gold Room (436 Grant Street, Pittsburgh) 20 minutes to testify and 10 minutes to answer questions Speaker: Rona Nesbit, Executive Vice President Introduction & History I’d like to begin by thanking Senator Argall and Senator Brewster and the Senate and House Urban Affairs Committees for inviting the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust to take part in today’s public hearing. In addition, I see so many people with whom we have partnered with over the past 30 years and me thank you all for your partnership. The history of the Trust is a shared history and I do not stand here alone, but with each of you who have contributed to, and remain committed to, the work of development and revitalization with the region. For those who may not know, just about 30 years ago, the Cultural District was a teeming “red light” district littered with noxious enterprises and criminal activity. Pioneering Pittsburgh visionary H.J. “Jack” Heinz II and his “Band of Dreamers” were determined to turn a seedy, downtrodden section of downtown into a world-class destination for arts and entertainment. Heinz took a critical first step towards realizing this noble vision by establishing the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust in 1984 as the catalyst behind the Cultural District’s creation, development and promotion. By way of introduction, The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust (or the Trust as I will refer to it heretofore) is a non-profit organization that has grown from a $170k budget in 1984 to a $53M budget today.
