I'm leading a startup nonprofit exploring policy solutions for America's 100 largest cities.
Of course, there are plenty of national and state-level policy organizations; some even dip their toes in the municipal policy scene. But in the cities, most gropus are self-interested or focused on a single issue.
We're trying to fill the gap with original research and projects that operationalize the research of others -- taking, for example, good research and popularizing it, developing components for model ordinances, etc.
