The course studies the physical environment of Pittsburgh; the topography, early settlement, the expansion of its industrial center, the post-war renewal, and the current shift from production to a service-based economy.

Student papers either expand research in building categories (industrial, domestic, etc.) Or integrate the physical development of the region with its political and social history.
