Driving Downtown - Pittsburgh 4K - USA

Driving Downtown - Pittsburgh Pennsylvania USA - Episode 25.
Pittsburgh is the second-largest city in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the county seat of Allegheny County. The Combined Statistical Area (CSA) population of 2,659,937 is the largest in both the Ohio Valley and Appalachia and the 20th-largest in the U.S. Located at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers, which form the Ohio River, Pittsburgh is known as both "the Steel City" for its more than 300 steel-related businesses, and as the "City of Bridges" for its 446 bridges.[3] The city features 30 skyscrapers, two inclines, 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. The mineral-rich Allegheny Mountains made the area coveted by the French and British empires, Virginia, Whiskey Rebels, and Civil War raiders.[4]

Aside from steel, Pittsburgh has led in manufacturing of aluminum, glass, shipbuilding, petroleum, foods, sports, transportation, computing, autos, and electronics.[5] For much of the 20th century, Pittsburgh was behind only New York and Chicago in corporate headquarters employment, and second to New York in bank assets; it had the most U.S. stockholders per capita.[6] America's 1980s deindustrialization laid off area blue-collar workers and thousands of downtown white-collar workers when the longtime Pittsburgh-based world headquarters of Gulf Oil, Sunbeam, Rockwell and Westinghouse moved out.[7] This heritage left the area with renowned museums, medical centers,[8] parks, research centers, libraries, a diverse cultural district and the most bars per capita in the U.S.[9] In 2015, Pittsburgh was listed among the "eleven most livable cities in the world";[10] The Economist's Global Liveability Ranking placed Pittsburgh as the first or second most livable city in the United States in 2005, 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2014.[11]

Google, Apple, Bosch, Facebook, Uber, Nokia, Autodesk, and IBM are among 1,600 technology firms generating $20.7 billion in annual Pittsburgh payrolls. The area has served also as the long-time federal agency headquarters for cyber defense, software engineering, robotics, energy research and the nuclear navy.[12] The area is home to 68 colleges and universities, including research and development leaders Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh.[13] The nation's fifth-largest bank, eight Fortune 500 companies, and six of the top 300 US law firms make their global headquarters in the Pittsburgh area, while RAND, BNY Mellon, Nova, FedEx, Bayer and NIOSH have regional bases that helped Pittsburgh become the sixth-best area for U.S. job growth.[14]

The region is a hub for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, sustainable energy, and energy extraction.

Drove through Pittsburgh for the first time last year. It really is beautiful... Left me wanting to see more. In fact, I was impressed with the entire state of Pennsylvania.

pittsburgh has an amazing downtown for a city of its population size...speaks a lot to the important relationship between geography and density, urbanity, and downtowns....

I’ve been to Pittsburgh too many times to count, and can’t help but fall in love with it more every time I’m here. Even the airport is amazing!

Pittsburgh seems so european, nice architecture, clean and in colours. I also like Seattle, Portland and complete New England. Magical.

Really Pittsburgh is a very beautiful city. Unique in its architecture. The people is friendly, but when they drive they are otherwise.

I used to live in Pittsburgh, now i live in Charlottesville Virginia with my family. And I'll tell you i miss Pittsburgh so much it hurts. When i save up i might move back

Almost went to college in Pittsburgh years ago. Visited a few times. It really is an underrated city. It has more of a midwestern vibe than an east coast vibe so people aren't as neurotic and uptight but rather down-to-earth and friendly.

This is my favorite city when it comes to the layout and skyline, so beautiful.

Wow, starting at around 17:00, almost looks like Park Ave. in NYC beautiful. Pittsburgh looks so beautiful and sophisticated despite its relatively small size.

[urankjj]

Wow! Thank you, great video. A trip down memory lane for me, being born and raised in the Burgh. Certainly not the 'smoky city' anymore. Also thank you for no added music. Just the beat of the city. I could even feel the cobblestones underneath, loved it...

[initeveryday]

Nyc here and Ive always loved coming to this city. So beautiful.

[chadowens]

Love this video, I have watched it so many times. When I start missing Pittsburgh, which is a lot, and have the time, I watch this video. Even the red lights don't bother me. It gives you time to look around, people watch or look at the buildings architecture. I love walking downtown the most. Thanks for the video!

[kittykate]

Pittsburgh is such a special place, Everyone here is so nice. Broke down on the side of the road? well 20 people will stop to make sure you are okay and ask if you need help. Compared to other cities, it is super clean. Come to Pittsburgh during a pens/Steelers game, you will fall in love.
