#Most successful examples -- which Katz & Wagner do not study in depth -- do not involve medical centers (Kendall Square, South Lake Union). These also don't see to have involved extensive use of public funds or centralized urban planning (need more research to be sure).
#Innovation Districts Katz & Wagner study extensively seem to be determined by donor support. (All reports include disclaimer that donors do not influence report.)
#Katz & Wagoner Wagner claim Innovation Districts can reduce social inequality. Do not present any evidence to support this claim. Evidence in "audits" of Oklahoma City and Philadelphia that stakeholders either allowed or deliberately constructed geographic barriers between lower income areas and medical centers. Katz & Wagoner Wagner set a low bar for inclusion, claiming that 50% of "STEM careers" in innovation districts do not require bachelor's degrees, suggesting they are counting low-level medical assistants as STEM careers.
