Pittsburgh was originally developed as a commercial and industrial city. By the Great Depression, steel production had gone west and the glory of the city was fading. There was a temporary boost of economics during WWII, but after the war, there was another decline in economics, air quality, and poor housing. In the mid-1940s, to stem this decline, the local government tried to improve the life of Pittsburgh. They called this initiative the Renaissance, and managed to improve things for 20 years. A second Renaissance happened in 1977 and lasted until the 1980s. Since then, Pittsburgh has had a constant struggle to increase the population. They have looked towards technology and education to improve the area. As of 2010, there's 305,704 citizens.
