| Summary: | Pittsburgh in 50 Maps offers unique new views of a city at a crossroads, culturally, economically and demographically. There are countless ways to map a city. Roads, bridges and waterways help you navigate the twists and turns. Topography gives you the lay of the land. Population trends show you a region’s changing fortunes. But the best maps let you feel what a city’s really like. Whether you call it the Steel City, the City of Bridges, City of Champions, Hell with the Lid Off or even the Paris of Appalachia, Pittsburgh’s distinctive character is undeniable. Pittsburgh in 50 Maps considers the boundaries of the city’s 90 distinct neighborhoods (plus Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood), the legacy of the steel industry and how immigration continues to shape the city. You’ll also find the areas with the highest concentrations of bike lanes, supermarkets, tree cover and fiberglass dinosaurs. Each colorful map offers a new perspective on one of America’s most consistently surprising cities and the people who live here. Sure to be a conversation starter for Pittsburgh locals, transplants and expats, Pittsburgh in 50 Maps is for anyone keen to understand the city in new and unexpected ways. |
