Its strategic PUBLISHERSlocation fostered PROPERTY OF TWIN LIGHTS PUBLISHERS the city’s growth into an industrial superpower and a major steel-manufacturing base in the early 1900s. The eventual collapse of the steel industry in the region forced the “Steel City” to overcome massive job losses and economic downturns, and to re-invent itself. Over the past three decades, Pittsburgh has undergone a dramatic economic and cultural metamorphosis so impressive that it is widely viewed as a transformative example for other cities. Pittsburgh’s essence is no longer that of a gritty, dark steel town, but rather as a vibrant, thriving urban mecca, regularly appearing in the top ranks of PROPERTY“most livable city” lists. OF TWIN LIGHTS PUBLISHERS PROPERTY OF TWIN LIGHTS PUBLISHERS Healthcare, education, and technology are now at the core of Pittsburgh’s economic ecosystem. The city’s top tier universities have spawned a rapidly expanding high- tech industry, bringing with it a surge of young talent. Several of the city’s oldest neighborhoods, like Lawrenceville, East Liberty, and even downtown Pittsburgh, are themselves undergoing rapid transformation and gentrification as young adults move in at impressive rates. In addition to its economic transformation, the city has undergone a cultural PROPERTYrevolution, and today itsOF downtown TWIN Cultural District LIGHTS showcases multiple PUBLISHERS theaters, art PROPERTY OF TWIN LIGHTS PUBLISHERS galleries, public art projects, urban parks, and riverfront recreation spaces that draw over two million visitors to more than 1,500 events each year. Pittsburgh also enjoys a broad offering of museums where visitors can explore extensive collections of art, history, and science. No discussion of Pittsburgh would be complete without acknowledging the city’s legacy as a sports town, and the often-fanatical dedication of its residents to the city’s three major professional sports teams — the Steelers (NFL), Pirates (MLB), and Penguins PROPERTY(NHL). Heinz Field, PNC OF Park, andTWIN Consol Energy LIGHTS Center are home toPUBLISHERS Pittsburgh’s PROPERTY OF TWIN LIGHTS PUBLISHERS teams, and are all world-class sporting venues that have been built within the past fifteen years. Amy Cicconi’s photography takes readers on a visual journey through the evolving landscape of the city of Pittsburgh, sharing reflections of its history and compelling views of its continued vibrance.
