Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pittsburgh is in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. It is the county seat of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. Built on the land between the confluence of the Allegheny, Ohio and Monongahela rivers and the surrounding hills, Pittsburgh features a skyline of skyscrapers
and dozens of bridges. Once an industrial center, the collapse of the United States steel industry has had a lasting impact on Pittsburgh. However, in 2005 in The Economist, Pittsburgh shared with Cleveland the top spot for liveable cities in the United States, and
tied for 26th on cities world-wide. Despite these rankings, Pittsburgh still faces many problems common to Rust Belt cities. An overarching trend of declining population in the city has had multiple side effects, from a dwindling tax base to cuts in both police and
firefighting services. In response to the collapse of the steel industry, Pittsburgh has become a nationally known center of medicine, education, technology and financial services.
Pittsburgh is the home of several prestigious universities, including the University of Pittsburgh, Duquesne University, and Carnegie Mellon University, among others. The city also hosts several nationally acclaimed sports teams, including the five-time Super Bowl
champion Pittsburgh Steelers, five-time World Series champion Pittsburgh Pirates and the two-time Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins. In addition, Pittsburgh is home of many top-rated medical institutions, such as the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center
and Allegheny General Hospital. Although still facing a declining population, Pittsburgh remains the chief city of the eastern Ohio River Valley. Pittsburgh has had a population problem since the First Renaissance and the closing of many steel mills due to union
problems in the early 1970s.
