Pittsburgh is a city in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the United States and the county seat of Allegheny County. A population of 302,971 residents lives within the city limits as of the 2020 US Census, making it the 68th-largest city in the U.S. and the second-most populous city in Pennsylvania, behind Philadelphia. The Pittsburgh metropolitan area is the anchor of Western Pennsylvania; its population of 2.37 million is the largest in both the Ohio Valley and Appalachia, the second-largest in Pennsylvania, and the 27th-largest in the U.S.

Pittsburgh is located in the southwest of the state, at the confluence of the Allegheny River and the Monongahela River, forming the Ohio River. 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 led to the region being contested by the French and British empires, Virginians, Whiskey Rebels, and Civil War raiders.

Aside from steel, Pittsburgh has led in the manufacturing of other important materials — aluminum and glass — and in the petroleum industry. Additionally, it is a leader in computing, electronics, and the automotive industry. For part of the 20th century, Pittsburgh was behind only New York City and Chicago in corporate headquarters employment; it had the most U.S. stockholders per capita. Deindustrialization in the 1970s and 1980s laid off area blue-collar workers as steel and other heavy industries declined, and thousands of downtown white-collar workers also lost jobs when several Pittsburgh-based companies moved out. The population dropped from a peak of 675,000 in 1950 to 370,000 in 1990. However, this rich industrial history left the area with renowned museums, medical centers, parks, research centers, and a diverse cultural district.

After the deindustrialization of the mid-20th century, Pittsburgh has transformed into a hub for the health care, education, and technology industries. Pittsburgh is a leader in the health care sector as the home to large medical providers such as University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC). The area is home to 68 colleges and universities, including research and development leaders Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh. Google, Apple Inc., Bosch, Facebook, Uber, Nokia, Autodesk, Amazon, Microsoft and IBM are among 1,600 technology firms generating $20.7 billion in annual Pittsburgh payrolls. The area has served as the long-time federal agency headquarters for cyber defense, software engineering, robotics, energy research and the nuclear navy. The nation's fifth-largest bank, eight Fortune 500 companies, and six of the top 300 U.S. law firms make their global headquarters in the area, while RAND Corporation (RAND), BNY Mellon, Nova, FedEx, Bayer, and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) have regional bases that helped Pittsburgh become the sixth-best area for U.S. job growth.

In 2015, Pittsburgh was listed among the "eleven most livable cities in the world". The Economist's Global Liveability Ranking placed Pittsburgh as the most or second-most livable city in the United States in 2005, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2014 and 2018. The region is a hub for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design and energy extraction.

When I grew up in Pgh in the 50s & 60s there was always snow in the winter. I miss my beloved home town.

From the about the 0:30 to the 5:50 Part of the video is not the downtown section of Pittsburgh. It is the Uptown section or formerly known as the Hill district area Where Mercy hospital and PPG arena is located it's above the downtown area. Ross street where the courthouse is, is the cut off between downtown and the Uptown section. 20:00 to 25:10 is the Northside section where Heinz Field and PNC Park and Rivers casino is located along with Allegheny General Hospital.

Wen to school in Pittsburgh from 2013-2015, this brings back a lot of memories. Despite being on the decline for many years, downtown Pittsburgh seems pretty clean. I didn't see a single homeless tent in the video. Much better than the "booming" tech city of Seattle...

Oliver, beach view, Bellview, Brentwood, fine view, Troy Hill, etna, but most of my younger life was on the Northside. I love and miss pittsburgh.

Is it safe to assume they're always working on the streets in Pittsburgh?

[fredderf]

Lived in Pittsburgh through most of the 70s. I liked it there.

[conniecrawford]

Have you never been to the wealthy suburbs with their gorgeous million dollar houses? Pittsburgh has many beautiful areas!

[evonnemccausland]

Pittsburgh isn't just the city, it's all of the different NEIGHBORHOODS ‼️Mr. Rogers sang about the neighborhoods‼️They can be ethnic groups or age groups that comprise Pittsburgh's neighborhoods ‼️They are all individual and unique‼️

[barbaraedgley]

Nice, thanks. Had aunts, uncles, cousins from Pittsburgh.

[marial]

Unbelievable how devoid of people the city is compared to even the 1980s and 90s. Back then Pittsburgh was teaming with people coming and going. Buses everywhere: no where to park a car. It’s like a ghost town. So many of the great businesses gone: Kaufmans, Hornes, Gimbels, Murphys, Honus Wagner, Ralphs(?), Candy Rama, Oyster House, etc. 😢
