Writing in clear and engaging prose, historian and area native Allen Dieterich-Ward provides a new model for a truly metropolitan history that integrates the urban core with its regional hinterland of satellite cities, white-collar suburbs, mill towns, and rural mining areas. Pittsburgh reached its industrial heyday between 1880 and 1920, as vertically integrated industrial corporations forged a regional community in the mountainous Upper Ohio River Valley. Over subsequent decades, metropolitan population growth slowed as mining and manufacturing employment declined. Faced with economic and environmental disaster in the 1930's, Pittsburgh's business elite and political leaders developed an ambitious program of pollution control and infrastructure development. The public-private partnership behind the "Pittsburgh Renaissance," as advocates called it, pursued nothing less than the selective erasure of the existing social and physical environment in favor of a modernist, functionally divided landscape: a goal that was widely copied by other aging cities and one that has important ramifications for the broader national story. Ultimately, the Renaissance vision of downtown skyscrapers, sleek suburban research campuses, and bucolic regional parks resulted in an uneven transformation that tore the urban fabric while leaving deindustrializing river valleys and impoverished coal towns isolated from areas of postwar growth. Beyond Rust is among the first books of its kind to continue past the collapse of American manufacturing in the 1980's by exploring the diverse ways residents of an iconic industrial region sought places for themselves within a new economic order. 410 0$aPolitics and culture in modern America. 606 $aUrban renewal$zPennsylvania$zPittsburgh$y20th century 606 $aCommunity development$zPennsylvania$zPittsburgh 606 $aUrban renewal$zUnited States$vCase studies 606 $aCommunity development, Urban$zUnited States$vCase studies 607 $aPittsburgh (Pa.)$xEconomic conditions$y20th century 607 $aPittsburgh Metropolitan Area (Pa.)$xEconomic conditions$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aUrban renewal 615 0$aCommunity development 615 0$aUrban renewal 615 0$aCommunity development, Urban 676 $a307.3/4160974886 700 $aDieterich-Ward$b Allen$01044193 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460821903321 996 $aBeyond rust$92469683 997 $aUNINA
