CityScape is under the leadership of Susan Rabold, Vice President and General Manager. Susan began her career in governmental services as a city planner. There she developed a specialized plan that controlled the growth of the wireless industry and then worked directly with the wireless industry to site many new facilities on city property. Her talents didn't go unnoticed, as she moved her creative ideas to one of America's top cities. That lead to a triple win situation. A win for the wireless industry with the "hierarchy" approach to streamlined siting system. A win for the City in that the wireless industry, by utilizing community property, for the location of facilities, created a new revenue stream for the City. And a win for the citizens, as they were provided the needed service for their cell phones. Susan entered the private sector in the mid nineties and directing a governmental emphasized service of one of the nation's largest tower companies. Shortly thereafter she teamed up with others to fill the planning void of CityScape.

Susan began her planning career as zoning administrator for the City of High Point, North Carolina. Her responsibilities included analysis, reporting and presentation of rezoning, conditional use permit, annexation and text amendment proposals for the Planning and Zoning Commission. After nearly four years with the City of High Point, Susan joined the staff at the City of Greensboro. For six years Susan served as the Technical Review Committee Administrator. Responsibilities included review of all site, subdivision and group development plans for compliance with watershed protection, flood zoning, landscaping and other City Ordinance development standards. While working for the City of Greensboro, Susan developed a Wireless Telecommunications Development Plan that concentrated on marketing the City’s publicly owned properties to the wireless providers. To date, this program is generating in excess of 11 million dollars over a twenty-five year period for the City of Greensboro
