Episode 34: Economic Diversification for the Future

In this episode, we talk with Michael Huling, Clark County, NV, Sr. County Planner and author of “The Need for Strategic Economic Diversification.” Michael explains why cities should diversify their economies to protect against downturns, comparing it to diversifying investments. We look at past examples of economic monocultures, like the Rust Belt, and highlight cities like Las Vegas and Pittsburgh that successfully turned their economies around.
