Present day Pittsburgh, where has attracted thousands of white-collar workers and the headquarters of multi-billion-dollar corporations, is regarded as one of the most livable cities.  As mayor of the city between 1994 and 2006, Murphy will share with us the transformation experience of Pittsburgh and how the local government contributed to those positive changes.
