Heritage & Opportunity: 30 Years, 30 Changes: A portrait of Pittsburgh in 2013 and how much it has evolved since 1983

Thirty years ago, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette produced a special section -- "How's Pittsburgh: A Portrait of an American City in the spring of 1983." It was a tale of Rust Belt woe. The steel industry had collapsed, leaving Depression-level unemployment and abandoned mills in its wake. Fifty thousand people a year were fleeing the area. What a difference 30 years makes.
In “Heritage & Opportunity: 30 Years, 30 Changes” the Post-Gazette looks at the revitalization that has taken place in Pittsburgh over the past three decades -- and where the city can go from here.
