Abstract
Pittsburgh has come a long way from the dirty steel town of the first half of the century to recognition by Rand McNally’s Places Rated Almanac as the nation’s most livable city in 1985. Two public-private partnership programs, Renaissance I and II, are responsible for the physical transformation of the central city.
