Downtown Revitalization Vision

Creating a Neighborhood for All in Downtown Pittsburgh

Our Downtown Matters

While all downtowns have historically been, and continue to be, strong foundations for cities, the pandemic forced the world to adapt in countless ways. Urban cores are experiencing similar issues and are responding creatively to how they attract and retain investment and people.

Allegheny County, City of Pittsburgh, Allegheny Conference on Community Development, Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh, and 100+ downtown stakeholders have partnered to revitalize downtown Pittsburgh.

Goals

Advance downtown Pittsburgh’s revitalization to create a future downtown that is vibrant, attractive, and welcoming to all residents, employees, and visitors.

Economic Development

Downtown will embrace a dense and diverse range of commerce, arts, and cultural experiences that support vibrant day and nighttime economies, support a diverse workforce, and encourage all who live and work in downtown to stay and play.

Downtown will be an economically competitive business environment and will attract, retain, and encourage a diverse range of businesses – small and large.

Housing

Downtown will be a livable community that offers a range of housing choices for individuals and families with diverse social and economic backgrounds.

Clean & Safe

Downtown will be a clean, safe, accessible, inclusive, and inviting environment for all.

Placemaking Projects

Downtown will have engaging, relevant civic spaces to support the surrounding neighborhoods and offer round-the-clock, inclusive programming that attracts the community at large.
