Pittsburgh, the City of Bridges, has a vast infrastructure that needs constant maintenance. I interviewed Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald to learn how it keeps up.

I've driven through the Fort Pitt tunnel over a 100 times and that view of the city when you come out still takes my breathe away.

Being from the Pittsburgh area I never thought of it as how big and how many people used to live here and how much money in taxes leaves but all the infrastructure stays.

Pittsburgh is a hidden gem and forgotten economic powerhouse of America that no one thinks about.... A half a year ago, I had never seen a video pop up on my YouTube, but in the last half year or so it seems like so many more videos covering the city have started to be made, and the revolations and unveilings of the city make it hard not to click and watch...

Thanks for visiting! I’ll add that Mr. Fitzgerald, after being term-limited out of office, is now head of the Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission — our region’s official Metropolitan Planning Organization. He will continue to have an impact on the Pittsburgh area’s transportation plans for years to come.

Pittsburgh is a great city to visit. I used to take my kids there several times a year. May go back again someday on my own since the kids are grown up now.

Overall, great video. One area I wished he touched on more was how car-oriented development contributed to the deterioration of the infrastructure. Cities built for cars are inherently inefficient and unsustainable. This design eventually leads to the bankruptcy of cities. The focus for reviving these cities should be on people-oriented development, not car-oriented. Cities should design dense, walkable, mixed-use neighborhoods, with access to transit and bike lanes. This kind of development leads to sustainable and thriving cities.

Pittsburgh became one of my favorite cities after going there for a job assignment. The Duquesne Incline has a great view of downtown and Heinz Field and the rivers. Wish there was more going on at the top but the bar restaurant there is legit. Boston, Dallas, Denver, and Pittsburgh are definitely my favorite U.S. cities by far. Also, you can see Pittsburgh from a plane depending on the route and I guess the runway assigned. I got a great view on one flight there and they used the cross runway so maybe but idk. Still, I'd recommend it to anyone and I got to stay in the strip district. Never even needed to drive I just walked to the hospital and the Incline. I wish I'd explored Downtown more though.

I’m actually in awe of that city. I went there once and I’m from NY but that city looked so well run despite it being so much smaller. This video opened my eyes up about this city.
