The city of Irvine located in Orange County (Southern California) is a very interesting case study to understand how some American agglomerations were built and developed. Built from scratch for its University, the city now has more than 250,000 inhabitants. One of the best known universities in California is undoubtedly Berkeley University in the north of the state. With a solid reputation, it remains with the historical one of UCLA (University of California Los Angeles) a grail hardly accessible. Whether it is for American or foreign students. In addition to exorbitant registration and tuition fees, a drastic selection is at the rendezvous of the most daring. The works carried out by the architect William Pereira, the small ranch and its farms were transformed into a town of 50'000 inhabitants, thought and built for its University. Everything was carefully calculated, studied and planned to the point that the architects of Ancient Greece would not deny this new city. With a precise place for industrial, residential, recreational areas, as well as green spaces and artificial lakes. All this, built around the central part which is the University of Irvine. Moving around the city, this constant is easily remarkable. Too often forgotten on the coastal route, the town of Irvine is a perfect pied à terre for exploring the surroundings, whether for a day at Disney Park, relaxing on the beach or discovering the surrounding mountains. The view is breathtaking from the top of the hills, but you won't have to force it with the bike working for you!
