This week, Odd Lots examined how American cities are rethinking their economic foundations, from tackling the stubborn problem of vacant housing in Baltimore to repositioning communities as manufacturing centers. Across these episodes runs a common thread: the question of whether cities can engineer their own renewal, or whether transformative change requires a different kind of ambition altogether—a tension that Mariana Mazzucato's discussion of moonshot-style innovation directly addresses.
