Giving City Councils
Independent Power to Lead.
We build proactive, ready-to-use legislative playbooks and policy toolkits. Equipping city leaders with economically sound solutions to the toughest urban problems.
The Legislators Who
Don't Legislate
In America's biggest cities, we face a critical democratic gap. City councils are expected to solve immense problems, but they are set up to fail due to a structural power imbalance.
The Resource Gap
Council offices lack the specialized legal and economic staff needed to draft complex, transformative legislation without outside help.
The Power Imbalance
Mayoral administrations hold the monopoly on data and departmental expertise, leaving legislators reactive rather than proactive.
The Result
A vacuum filled by activists and lobbyists, resulting in performative politics over economically sound municipal governance.
Proactive, Proven
Policy Playbooks
IMM acts as an accademic "central publisher." We are the missing piece for the city councilmembers by providing them with the expertise they need.

We source proven legislative success stories from across the globe, vetting them for economic impact.
Build the Playbook
Our legal and economic teams translate success into policy packages tailored for American city councils.
Equip the Legislator
We provide the detailed analysis, accademic review, and optimized policy solutions needed to help inform councilmembers so they can draft the bills taking on the biggest challenges.
The Legislative Playbook
