Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

From Stormravengaming

Pittsburgh is the second largest city in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the United States. It is the county seat of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. It is the economic, cultural, academic, transportation, and service hub of the Pittsburgh Metro Area and the Pittsburgh Tri-State. 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's economy and identity. In response to the collapse of the steel industry in the 1970s and 1980s, Pittsburgh's economy has shifted to healthcare, education, technology, and financial services.

Despite still facing a declining population, Pittsburgh remains the chief city of the eastern Ohio River Valley. Because of its setting, economic opportunities, low cost of living, and growing educational, cultural and medical infrastructures, Pittsburgh is often ranked as one of the nation's most livable cities.
