Irvine, California

Irvine, United States

Irvine, California spans 169 connections with 4371 other places across 21 topics, with sports and industry as the two dominant topic clusters. Many of its connections are shared with California broadly, Los Angeles, and San Diego. The city’s layout was planned around the University of California, Irvine as a central anchor, with residential villages strung along two main streets. Only automobile transportation was accounted for in the original design, leaving Irvine car dependent. Government connections reflect its post-Proposition 13 fiscal structure, including Mello-Roos special taxes in later-developed villages.
