About Pittsburgh

Published on 2010-03-07 17:41:55

From wikipedia

Pittsburgh is known colloquially as "The City of Bridges" and "The Steel City" for its many bridges and former steel manufacturing base. While the city is historically known for its steel industry, today its economy is largely based on health care, education, technology, robotics, and financial services. The city has made great strides in redeveloping abandoned industrial sites with new housing, shopping and offices, such as the SouthSide Works. While Pittsburgh faced economic troubles in the mid 1980s as the steel industry waned, modern Pittsburgh is economically strong. In 2009, Pittsburgh was named most livable city in the United States and 29th-most-livable city worldwide by The Economist
