Produktbeschreibung
The Irvine Ranch: Fulfilling the Vision, 1977-2025 continues the story of the planning and development of the Irvine Ranch under a partnership of high-powered businessmen to the single ownership of Donald Bren. The Irvine Ranch transformed from an agricultural empire into the most successful New Town in the United States in less than two generations. Since 1977, some of the most innovative and valuable master-planned residential, commercial, and retail developments have occurred on the Irvine Ranch in the cities of Irvine, Newport Beach, Tustin, and Orange. This book details the Irvine Company's success in planning and its strategic handling of major challenges, including infrastructure needs and responses to anti-growth sentiment and litigation. From the start of comprehensive planning of the Irvine Ranch in 1960 to today, the development is regarded by planning and real estate experts as the most significant and valuable master-planned community in the nation. Successive generations of urban planners and real estate developers will look to the Irvine Ranch - shaped by Bren's long-term leadership - as a model of successful large-scale community development.

H. Pike Oliver has been working on real estate development strategies and master-planned communities since the 1970s, including nearly eight years at the Irvine Company, and has lived in the City of Irvine for 15 years. As the founder and sole owner of URBANEXUS, he focuses on equitable and sustainable real estate development and natural lands management. Earlier in his career, Oliver worked for public agencies, including the California Governor's Office of Planning and Research, where he was a key contributor to An Urban Strategy for California. He has taught urban studies and real estate development at Cornell University and the University of Washington. Oliver is a member of the Urban Land Institute, the American Planning Association, and a founder of the California Planning Roundtable. He graduated from the urban studies and planning program at San Francisco State University and earned a master's degree in urban planning at UCLA. C. Michael Stockstill earned a journalism degree from Humboldt State University in 1971. After spending a year as a legislative staff member in the California Assembly, he worked as a reporter and editor in Orange County before joining the Irvine Company in 1978. During his 13-year tenure there, he helped develop and implement strategies for major planning and policy concerns, including a multi-year campaign to pass a half-cent sales tax for local transportation improvements. Stockstill also contributed to the Transportation Corridor Agencies, which built the first toll roads in modern California history, as well as CalOptima, Southern California Edison, and served as a public affairs consultant. He moved to Irvine in 1975 and was actively involved in local government, youth sports, and education while raising a family. Now retired, he resides in Irvine. He has written for national magazines, including Planning and Parks and Recreation.
