Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

 

Pittsburgh is a city in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the United States, and is the county seat of Allegheny County. Pittsburgh is known both as "the Steel City" for its more than 300 steel-related businesses and as the "City of Bridges" for its 446 bridges. The city features 30 skyscrapers, two inclined railways, a pre-revolutionary fortification and the Point State Park at the confluence of the rivers. The city developed as a vital link of the Atlantic coast and Midwest, as the mineral-rich Allegheny Mountains made the area coveted by the French and British empires, Virginians, Whiskey Rebels, and Civil War raiders.

 

 

Aside from steel, Pittsburgh has led in manufacturing of aluminum, glass, shipbuilding, petroleum, foods, sports, transportation, computing, autos, and electronics. For part of the 20th century, Pittsburgh was behind only New York and Chicago in corporate headquarters employment; it had the most U.S. stockholders per capita. America's 1980s deindustrialization laid off area blue-collar workers and thousands of downtown white-collar workers when the longtime Pittsburgh-based world headquarters moved out.This heritage left the area with renowned museums, medical centers, parks, research centers, and a diverse cultural district.

 

 

Pittsburgh signed the U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement in 2007, pledging to implement local global warming solutions that will save taxpayer dollars and reduce energy use.

 

This commitment followed the completion of the City's first greenhouse gas inventory. Learn more about Pittsburgh's sustainability efforts here.
