The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust
Description edit
A History of the Pittsburgh and the Cultural Trust
Established in the eighteenth century at the confluence of three rivers, Pittsburgh in the nineteenth century became the industrial giant of the world, producing steel, iron, aluminum, and glass. This industry, however, created the image of a "smoky city," or what writer James Parton once described as "Hell with the lid off."
But by the 1960s, Pittsburgh earned a special place in the history of urban development by remaking itself through public-private partnerships into a city with clean air, clean water, grand public spaces and architecturally significant office buildings - what our city proudly calls Renaissance I and II.
Despite Renaissance I and II, Pittsburgh, by the 1980s - like so many American cities in the so-called rust-belt - had suffered a significant downturn: industry declined, mills were closed, corporations downsized and relocated or were acquired. Downtown storefronts were vacant and the streets virtually empty at night.
