The world is urbanizing fast -- more than half the globe's people now live in cities. That fact makes the management of urban areas a critical challenge and mayors more important than ever. Few mayors are attracting as much attention as Newark's Cory Booker, leading a city with a 40-year reputation for blight, crime, and poverty. Already well known, Booker became far more famous in late September when he and Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg appeared on Oprah Winfrey's TV show to announce Zuckerberg's $100 million pledge to Newark schools.

Booker today has over a million followers on Twitter -- fewer than Lady Gaga but more
