Description

Transformed tells how civic leaders in Pittsburgh--once the world's steel capital--brought new uses to five derelict industrial brownfield sites. Polluted and largely abandoned Herr's Island became Washington's Landing, with upscale housing, a marina, rowing center and riverfront trails. LTV's shuttered Pittsburgh Steel Works became the Pittsburgh Technology Center, a home to academic and commercial R&D. USX's Homestead Works, once the largest steel mill in the world, became the Sandcastle water park and the busy Waterfront, with big box stores, restaurants and riverfront housing. The Duquesne and National Works were reborn as the City Center of Duquesne and the Industrial Center of McKeesport. Transformed explains how this happened, and suggests lessons others can learn from Pittsburgh's experience.
