Pittsburgh's Gateway Center

Pittsburgh's Gateway Center
This construction photo shows part of the Gateway Center development in downtown Pittsburgh, which drew inspiration from Swiss architect Le Corbusier's unrealized 1922 Ville Contemporaine plan for Paris. Spearheaded by the Allegheny Conference on Community Development, the organization that inspired the formation of the Cleveland Development Foundation, in the 1950s, Gateway Center was the envy of other cities, none more so than Cleveland, where urban renewal began outside downtown. | Date: ca. 1952 | Source: Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh
