Pittsburgh has long been known for its physical might, a place where unmatched industrial prowess has helped propel the nation's progress. But as the 21st century begins to unfold, what most people don't realize is that the city's power extends well beyond its industrial heritage.

Indeed, The Power of Pittsburgh offers a vivid portrait of a city--and a region--that is more vibrant, more progressive, and more powerful than ever before.
