Some town talk
Pittsburgh is one of the nation’s most unique cities. It’s big enough to keep life interesting. And small enough to feel like you own it.
With everything from a lively arts scene and major league sports to good eats and affordable housing in Pittsburgh, the world is catching on about what a desirable place it is. In a 2009 survey by Britain’s Economist, Pittsburgh was named the most livable city in the United States – and 29th in the world.
The Economist’s ranking is just one of many Pittsburgh kudos. The city ranked in the nation’s Top 20 on the Brookings Institution list in 2009. Forbes Magazine cited it as the sixth best city in “Ten Cities For Job Growth In 2009.” And in 2007, Pittsburgh was heralded “America’s Most Livable City” by Places Rated Almanac.
