The London Olympics and Urban Development

The Mega-Event City

Herausgeber: Poynter, Gavin; Li, Yang; Viehoff, Valerie

Beschreibung

As London sought to use the Olympics to achieve an ambitious programme of urban renewal in the relatively socially deprived East London it attracted global attention and sparked debate. This book provides an in-depth study of the transformation of East London as a result of the 2012 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games. Government and event organisers use legacies of urban renewal to justify hosting the world's leading sports mega-event, this book examines and evaluates those legacies.
