Dallas really have took off and I really hopes the people from COUNTRY atl really see that this is how a city get urban with building all together and in the hirizon.
Atlanta midtown and downtown looks like a couple of lego blocks that a child crashed and left them in the trees!
Dallas you got it going on baby!!!
Pittsburgh's urban core never fell to the extent of some rust belt cities. Pittsburgh missed out on the early 90s economic boom. Pittsburgh has been playing catch up since then. Pittsburgh tranformation since the 94 has been quite remarkable. Pittsburgh focused on Riverfront development and historic preservation over the last 20 years or so. The skyline has not changed all tha. Much since the 80s but the streetscape changed dramatically during that time. Our cultural district blossomed while adding a residential component on Penn Ave. Our city neighborhoods are the new focus. The cities East Liberty section is leading the way with multiple game changing developments under construction. Pittsburgh is in the process of developing two large inner parcels. The former Civic Arena site and the Almono sites will add two all new neighborhoods to the urban core.

I can't really understand your words, but are you implying that Dallas is growing a lot more than LA or DC? In urban construction??
You want see a transformation scroll through these pages. And its doesn't take 20+ years to see it drastically change..year by year. The city is almost unrecognizable as far as how it looks from 1994.

The topic of the thread is not about which cities "grew more." I think we all know the answers there. The thread is about transformation in the core. I don't know if any city in the country has transformed/ changed in its core the way "core" of Washington DC has to the degree it has since 1994.
It's practically wall to wall urbanity that can only be matched by cities like NY, SF, Boston, Chicago. Wasn't like that 20 years ago.
I think most people on this forum are too young to remember or realize just how utterly dysfunctional New York was in the early '90s. The gritty New York of the '70s and '80s continued on for the first half of the '90s. Times Square was the sleaziest place in America, you could buy anything there. If the time frame begins at 1994 then we are talking about the city Guiliani inherited. The version of NY that we know now did not exist then. The transformation wasn't new buildings (although it has had that), it was a new social fabric (in some ways better, in other ways worse). The old New York had more in common with pre-gentrification Philly than the NY of today. DC went through a similar transformation. I think those are the two most changed cities.
