Why visit Pittsburgh?
DVGBC traveled across the commonwealth to learn more about the first 2030 District in Pennsylvania, the Pittsburgh 2030 District, a strategic initiative of GBA. The Pittsburgh 2030 District currently boasts the highest committed square footage of all 2030 Districts nationwide at over 68 million square feet. In addition, nearly 70 percent of the square footage within the Pittsburgh 2030 District’s boundary is committed to the initiative’s reduction goals in energy, water, and transportation. The Pittsburgh 2030 is on track to reach its reduction goals, surpassing its five-year interim goal in just three years, reducing energy by 12.5 percent, water by 10.3 percent, and transportation emissions by 24.2 percent.
The Pittsburgh 2030 District includes Downtown Pittsburgh and Oakland and includes prominent property owners and managers including various hospitals, universities, developers, and all three of its professional sports teams!
While in town, DVGBC attended meetings with staff, community stakeholders, and 2030 District partners to share best practices and collaborate on statewide issues of importance with respect to the built environment.
We’re grateful to our partners at GBA in Pittsburgh for the warm welcome!
