Learning from one Rust Belt city's postindustrial transition\n While Pittsburgh is sometimes held up as a successful example of urban reinvention in the era after heavy industry (think \""eds and meds\""), its transition away from steel has in fact been uneven and contested. Christopher P. Briem grew up in the city's Bloomfield and South Side neighborhoods watching that process. Now a regional economist at the University of Pittsburgh, he has spent many years working in multiple registers to document economic change\u2014through his academic research, as a public authority consulted nationally when Pittsburgh is in the news, and as a spirited participant in popular debates about what is still called the Steel City.\n Beyond Steel collects Briem's encyclopedic knowledge of the city during and after\n\nBeyond Steel\nPittsburgh and the Economics of Transformation\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked services.\n\;
