BOM - Transforming The Irvine Ranch by Oliver and Stockstill

Transforming the Irvine Ranch is the story of a 93,000 acre ranch into the city of Irvine California. It is one of the most studied master plans in university courses related to urban planning.  

On Saturday’s show my guest was Michael Stockstill, one of the authors of the book. On today’s show we’re going deeper into the book itself. The reason the book is so impactful, at least for me, is that virtually every complexity that could impact a development project is chronicled in the history of Irvine Ranch. 

I personally like the biography genre of book. But in this case, this isn’t the biography of a famous person. It’s the biography of a ranch that became a city.
