The Institute on Metropolitan Opportunity is a small non-profit organization based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. With three employees, the Institute focuses its research and advocacy efforts on the impact of laws, policies, and practices on metropolitan development within the United States. The Institute's primary focus is on understanding how these factors contribute to social and economic disparities within metropolitan regions. They achieve this through rigorous scholarly research, innovative mapping projects, and impactful advocacy campaigns. Their work provides valuable resources for policymakers, planning officials, and community organizations working to implement reforms in areas such as taxation, land use, housing, metropolitan governance, and education.
