Tom Murphy Former Pittsburgh Mayor Tom Murphy is travelling the country with his
suggestions on how to revitalize cities stuck in the 20th
century. His 12-year term as Pittsburgh mayor included
the construction of three major sports and entertainment venues,
directing nearly $4 billion in investment in the city, and
developing an expanded downtown convention that is the country's
largest certified green building. We sat down with Murphy after his
speech in Sacramento yesterday.

today.
