The Hill District

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States

Rich with history and vibrant culture, this community has experienced great change over the past 100 years. A once bustling community now struggles to redefine itself and connect back to the city that once gave the area life. Great change created the current state of the community. The urban fabric must evolve again to revive the neighborhoods and reestablish the cultural influence of the region.
