Скачать или смотреть 70 years after the Lower Hill's destruction in Pittsburgh, residents hope for justice

City government demolished much of Pittsburgh's Lower Hill District to make room for the Civic Arena. Besides the homes and businesses, the Lower Hill was also home to historic jazz clubs, which fueled the neighborhood’s broader cultural scene. Since the arena’s 2012 demolition, the site has been filled with parking lots, serving events at PPG Paints Arena. The Pittsburgh Penguins developed roughly seven of those 28 acres, with projects like the First National Bank skyscraper and a Live Nation music venue under construction. With the Penguins’ development rights officially expired, the land reverts back into the hands of city government with the Urban Redevelopment Authority and the Sports and Exhibition Authority.
