From an industrial center in the 19th century, Pittsburgh has grown to be one of the more livable metropolitan cities in the USA. Swarming with students from across universities in the area, it is a highly stylish city with first-class museums, lush greenery and a bustling neighborhood spotted with buzzing restaurant and bars. One of the best known faces of the city, Scottish-born immigrant Andrew Carnegie built his fortune here by advancing steel production. His legacy is still identical with the city and its many cultural and educational institutions. After the steel industrys failure, Pittsburghs economy reemphasized on technology, health care, and education. The city is headquarters to several distinguished Fortune 500 companies, including Alcoa and Heinz. It is renowned for its medical centers, parks, museums, research centers, libraries, and a vibrantly diverse cultural district.
