Neal Peirce, editor-in-chief/founder of the Citiscope, is a pulse-taker of change in how cities govern themselves and prepare to face new challenges. Curtis W. Johnson is the co-author of three books about public policy issues in urban regions, most recently Century of the City, published in late 2008 by the Rockefeller Foundation. As a longtime writer with the Citistates Group, Johnson, along with columnist Neal Peirce, has written more than a hundred feature-length articles on a wide range of public policy issues which have appeared in more than 50 newspapers over the past 20 years. John Stuart Hall, Ph.D., is Professor of Public Affairs and Public Service at ASU. A founder and former Director of ASU's School of Public Affairs and its Center for Urban Studies, and Project Director of over 40 large-scale, and often, interdisciplinary urban research projects, "No one in the country knows as much as Neal Peirce about the ins and outs of American local government". Neal Peirce is the best writer on urban affairs in the country". --Henry Cisneros, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.

The author feels that nation-states are losing their power to innovate and transform society, but citistates will take up the slack: "The citistate is the most dynamic form of human settlement today. We are just beginning to sense its full latent power. But it may be years before we grasp its limits, geographic or political.".
