  • 2019 State of Downtown Pittsburgh
    20 STATE OF DOWNTOWN PITTSBURGH19 TABLE OF CONTENTS For the past eight years, the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership has been pleased to produce the State of Downtown Pittsburgh Report. This annual compilation and data analysis allows us to benchmark our progress, both year over year and in comparison to peer cities. In this year’s report, several significant trends came to light helping us identify unmet needs and better understand opportunities for developing programs and initiatives in direct response to those challenges. Although improvements to the built environment are evident in nearly every corridor of the Golden Triangle, significant resources are also being channeled into office property interiors to meet the demands of 21st century companies and attract a talented workforce to Pittsburgh’s urban core. More than $300M has been invested in Downtown’s commercial office stock over the 4 ACCOLADES AND BY THE NUMBERS last five years – a successful strategy drawing new tenants to Downtown and ensuring that our iconic buildings will continue to accommodate expanding businesses and emerging start-ups. OFFICE, EMPLOYMENT AND EDUCATION Downtown experienced a 31% growth in residential population over the last ten years, a trend that will continue with the opening 6 of hundreds of new units over the next couple of years. Businesses, from small boutiques to Fortune 500 companies, continued to invest in the Golden Triangle in 2018 while Downtown welcomed a record number of visitors and new residents. HOUSING AND POPULATION 12 Development in Downtown is evolving and all of these investments combine to drive the economic vitality of the city, making Downtown’s thriving renaissance even more robust.

  • N the Early 1950S Pittsburgh, the Allegheny Conference on Community Development Was the Power Center for the City and the Region
    INSPIRED BY A 1950S PITTSBURGH RENAISSANCE CAPTURED IN PHOTOGRAPHS, AN ENDOWMENTS-FUNDED PROJECT BRINGS A NEW DOWNTOWN RENAISSANCE INTO FOCUS FOR A NEW AGE. BY DOUGLAS ROOT n the early 1950s Pittsburgh, the Allegheny Conference on Community Development was the power center for the city and the region. The men (all men and all white in those years) included CEOs of Pittsburgh-based corporations, elected offi cials, and education and civic leaders. A few on the conference Executive Committee also were budding philanthropists. I This serious group had taken on one of the most signifi cant urban redevelopment programs in the country’s history. It changed so many areas of city life that it was later named the “Pittsburgh Renaissance,” the fi rst of several the city would experience in the next 60 years. The leaders who conceived Renaissance I were ambitious, impatient with delay and no-nonsense in decision making. They gloried in project blueprints and thick reports on issues such as housing, zoning and public health. They also weren’t afraid to confront politicians and labor leaders in those classic smoke-fi lled rooms. So it was nothing short of astounding that this elite group embraced something that had little to do with the business of building. Talented photographers were unleashed throughout the region to document the dramatic physical changes and the new patterns of daily life. The stated goal of the Pittsburgh Photographic Library, the name for the project headquartered at the University of Pittsburgh, was to educate the region and the nation using Pittsburgh as a sterling example of the great benefi ts that come from comprehensive urban planning.

    2009 Corporate Sustainability Report Update A Message From the Chairman I am pleased to present the 2009 update to PPG’s Corporate Sustainability Report. Last year, we published our first sustainability report, covering activities in 2008. At that time, we announced our intention to produce a full report every two years, issuing an update in intervening years to summarize new data and developments. This is the first of these updates, reflecting new activities and information for 2009. As an update to our inaugural Corporate Sustainability Report, it is designed to be read in conjunction with the original report. While 2009 clearly posed challenges for our businesses in terms of difficult economic conditions, I believe that PPG’s performance was admirable under the circumstances.

  • Green Roof Resource Guide
    Green Roof Resource Guide A guide for services and technologies in Southwestern Pennsylvania ometimes they are called a living roof, an eco-roof, or even a rooftop garden. In every case, it’s a roof that has been planted with vegetation. And while it’s literally as green as Sthe plants that grow there, it’s also “green” in the Earth-friendly sense: The plantings can serve as natural insulation, reduce sewage system loads and air pollution, and counter the “heat island” effect (raised temperatures in urban areas). The roof is typically covered with a layer of waterproofing material, then with soil or another planting medium, and planted with grasses, flowers, groundcover, or even shrubs and trees. Irrigation systems are sometimes included. However it’s designed, it sure beats old-fashioned black tar on a hot city day. Why are green roofs important in Southwestern PA? Many older U.S. cities like Pittsburgh have connected storm and sanitary sewer infrastructure, which are commonly undersized to handle the present day volumes of storm water, resulting in combined sewage overflows (CSOs). CSOs result when excessive storm water overwhelms the sewage collection system through direct connections or leaky pipes, causing raw sewage to overflow untreated into waterways, overflow from manholes, or back up into homeowners’ basements. As little as one-tenth inch of rain—an average Pittsburgh rainfall is one-quarter inch—can cause CSOs. The adverse effects of wet weather can last for days. For example, during Pittsburgh’s recreational boating season, May 15-September 30, Allegheny County issues river advisories warning individuals using the rivers to limit water contact when sewage overflows have likely contaminated the water with bacteria and viruses.

  • EVICTION in ALLEGHENY COUNTY: a MIXED-METHODS STUDY by the PITTSBURGH FOUNDATION 2 Eviction in Allegheny County: a Mixed-Methods Study by the Pittsburgh Foundation
    EVICTION IN ALLEGHENY COUNTY: A MIXED-METHODS STUDY BY THE PITTSBURGH FOUNDATION 2 Eviction in Allegheny County: A mixed-methods study by The Pittsburgh Foundation President’s Message Over the past five years, The Pittsburgh Foundation has labored to understand the degree to which eviction destabilizes communities and creates a cycle of poverty from which few are able to escape. We wanted to understand not just who is being evicted, how often and from where, but also to illuminate the heavy social and emotional costs to those navigating the housing- search systems or facing the loss of their homes. This report presents rigorous quantitative analytics of eviction data from the Allegheny County courts, and qualitative research capturing the lived experiences and observations of those closest to the issue: residents and landlords. Our goal is to provide a powerful narrative backed up by hard data to illuminate broken systems and policies that have real impact on individuals’ lives. We anticipate and hope that housing advocates, legislators, officials in the court system and the philanthropic community will use this information to inform their work and investment in interventions, generate additional questions and work more effectively. The COVID-19 pandemic and its economic fallout have led our nation to the brink of an eviction crisis. But in truth, the crisis is much more deeply entrenched than that. Federal housing assistance programs faced grave threats, particularly in recent years, even as the gap between rents and income grew exponentially. That gap yawns even wider for people of color who — due to decades of racist policies in credit, lending and housing — were largely excluded from programs that created stability and generational wealth for white Americans.
