Davis has undergone a major transformation from the mid-20th century to today; growing from a small college town of about 3;000 residents and 1;500 students to a world-class university city of 80;000 area residents and 35;000 students. Major features of this revolution include the creation of a vibrant downtown; environmentally sensitive politics; diverse and innovative neighborhoods; and a citywide system of bike lanes. A thriving University of California at Davis campus was the economic dynamo that attracted talented students and faculty. Their environmentalist values spurred innovations in solar energy; waste recycling; bicycle infrastructure; subsidized public transit; energy-saving construction; and farm-to-fork localization of food supplies; among other new civic directions that remain an essential part of the city�s culture today.
