Governance of Sustainable Event-Led Regeneration: the Case of London 2012 Olympics GOVERNANCE OF SUSTAINABLE EVENT-LED REGENERATION: THE CASE OF LONDON 2012 OLYMPICS A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Hayriye Özlem Edizel School of Engineering and Design Brunel University April 2014 ABSTRACT This study aims to understand the interface between the governance of event-led regeneration and sustainable development by taking the London 2012 Olympic Games/Lower Lee Valley area regeneration process as a case study. Since the early 1990s, there is a widespread trend towards the use of mega-events to promote a city, stimulate the local economy and regenerate rundown post-industrial areas and communities. The importance of mega-events in destination development has gained increasing attention and they are also considered as a catalyst for city regeneration. The emphasis in the aims of event-led regeneration has changed over the time and the sustainability in terms of economic, physical, social and governance dimensions has gained significant attention from both organisers and researchers. In the context of sustainable event-led regeneration, multiple stakeholder perspectives are essential and it is important to know how different actors are involved and interact in an event-led regeneration. London used 2012 Olympics to regenerate East London, one of the most deprived parts of the city. It is taken as an opportunity to explore new frontiers of interaction and cooperation between the local, regional and national stakeholders. This research adopts an integrative approach, which evaluates the changes in the built environment, social structure and stakeholder organisation together to evaluate the sustainability of the event-led regeneration governance. Data collection methods include interviews with stakeholders of London 2012 planning and organization, focus group meetings with residents living in and around the fringe of the London 2012 Olympic Park, secondary data analysis and document analysis. The research provides a sound base from which the planning of more sustainable mega- events can be undertaken by using the epistemological framework for sustainable event-led regeneration and the evaluation of their impact more fully measured across a wider stakeholder community. The conclusion emphasises the importance of the collaborative approach for the governance and resilience as critical for sustainable event-led regeneration. ii DECLARATION I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. I authorise Brunel University to lend this thesis to other institutions or individuals for the purpose of scholarly research. Signature Hayriye Ozlem Edizel Date: 01/04/14 I further authorise Brunel University to reproduce this thesis by photocopying or by other means, in total or in part, at the request of other institutions or individuals for the purpose of scholarly research. Signature Hayriye Ozlem Edizel Date: 01/04/14 iii To My Mum, Tulay Edizel iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I believe having the opportunity to conduct this research in London during the Olympic era has been one of the biggest chances of my academic career. My first degree in City and Regional Planning and masters in Regional Planning had provided me with a good understanding of the urban issues but I particularly wanted to extend my knowledge and experience in the area of mega-events, related regeneration and governance. East London hosting the London 2012 is a historic event with several planning challenges, which this thesis focused on. I would like to acknowledge some special people who made the completion of this PhD possible. Firstly, I would like to deeply thank my supervisors, Prof. Graeme Evans, for his encouragement, guidance, generous time and most importantly his constant support on every stage of this PhD and Dr. Vassil Girginov for sharing his extensive knowledge and expertise with me. My heartfelt thanks go to Dr. Jo Foord for her time, feedback, eye for detail and encouragement even at stressful times. I also would like to thank Ralph Ward for sharing his insightful experience on the London Olympics, time and constructive criticism on my work and Niall McNevin for his endless support throughout this research and introducing me to the London 2012 Olympics family. Many thanks to all individuals participated in this research for taking time from their busy schedule and sharing their experience with me. Also, special thanks go to all local people who contributed to the focus group meetings without expecting any return. I also would like to thank to the Chandos East Community Centre, Homerton Library, Idea Store and the Epicentre for providing me space to conduct my focus group meetings. Without this support it would not be possible to complete this research the way it is now. I owe much to my dear friends Hélène Draux and Lucinda Newns. We started this adventure together and supported each other in every stage. British Library would not be that attractive without knowing that you will be there for coffee/lunch breaks. Also, thanks go to Cristina Maxim and Robert Gonouya and all members of the Cities Institute. It was good to know that I was not alone in this journey. I would like to thank London Metropolitan University and Cities Institute for offering me a VC Scholarship to conduct this research in the first place and Brunel University for giving me the opportunity to complete it. Thanks also go to all the researchers that I have met at different conferences and seminars for their useful feedback on my work. v Also, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Goodenough College for being a home throughout my PhD and all staff and friends for their support and understanding. Special thanks go to Lily Withycombe-Taperell for being a perfect flatmate, sharing the hardest times of the PhD and her positive energy. I also would like to sincerely thank Baris Oztoprak who patiently listened all my PhD stresses and comfort me each time. I also would like to acknowledge Hande Gurses for sharing her experiences with me and her friendship and Funda Atun for her academic and intellectual support. They inspired me to keep going even at hard times. Thanks go to all my friends and family back home. They always supported me and I am grateful for their understanding and patience. I especially would like to thank to my mum, Tulay Edizel, who has been a role model for me and provided endless encouragement and my brother, Bora Edizel, for comforting me when worried and stressed. Knowing that you are always there for me when I need means a lot. Finally, special thanks go to my granddad, Emcet Edizel, who raised me with critical and progressive thinking. Without his inspirations on every aspect of my life, I would have never achieved this. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ........................................................................................................................ ii DECLARATION ................................................................................................................. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ................................................................................................... v TABLE OF CONTENTS .....................................................................................................vii LIST OF TABLES .............................................................................................................. xi LIST OF FIGURES.............................................................................................................xii LIST OF ACRONYMS .......................................................................................................xiv CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION....................................................................................... 1 1.1 BACKGROUND ..................................................................................................... 1 1.2 RATIONALE .......................................................................................................... 2 1.3 RESEARCH AIMS ................................................................................................. 6 1.4 STRUCTURE OF THE THESIS.............................................................................. 6 CHAPTER 2 UNDERSTANDING THE MEGA-EVENT PHENOMENON ........................ 9 2.1 INTRODUCTION.................................................................................................... 9 2.2 DEFINITIONS AND CLASSIFICATIONS ............................................................... 9 2.3 MEGA-EVENT PHASES .......................................................................................13 2.3.1 Pre-event: Bidding ...........................................................................................13 2.3.2 Event: Management and Hosting .....................................................................15 2.3.3 Post-event: Legacy .........................................................................................17 2.4 RATIONALE: IS IT AN IMAGE DEVELOPMENT OR URBAN PHENOMENON? ..18 2.5 CONTROVERSY ..................................................................................................21 2.6 CONCLUSIONS ...................................................................................................23 CHAPTER 3 EVENT-LED REGENERATION................................................................25 3.1 INTRODUCTION...................................................................................................25 3.2 MODELS OF URBAN REGENERATION ..............................................................25

    SUNDAY, AUGUST 7, 2016 SPORTS BASKETBALL SWIMming Will truce in swimsuit wars carry on past Rio Olympics? RIO DE JANEIRO: There’s one question swimmers won’t hear this month around the Olympic Aquatics Stadium in Rio de Janeiro: What are you wearing? Olympic coaches and swimmers would prefer it remain that way, never wanting to go back to the swim- suit wars that culminated with a ludicrous display of speed at the 2009 world championships. Yet, the big-money swimsuit companies - so crucial to the sport’s financial viability - are always pressing to show off their high-tech chops, which are severely crimped by rules that restrict the size and fabrics for competition swimsuits. Some are wondering just how long the status quo will remain in place after the Rio Games end on Aug. 21. “I do believe there will be something that’s coming,” American swimmer Elizabeth Beisel said. “Whether it’s in the next five years, 10 years, who knows? But it’ll get back to where it was, for sure.” That prospect is anathema to those who remember RIO DE JANEIRO: France’s guard Marine Johannes (3rd R) battles Turkey’s defence during a Women’s round Group A basketball match between Turkey and France at the Youth what happened seven years ago in Rome, when a decade Arena in Rio de Janeiro yesterday during the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. — AFP of radical changes in swimsuit design led to the introduc- tion of rubberized bodysuits. Forty-three world records were set at a meet that was more farce than competition, leading governing body FINA to hastily impose new swimsuit rules that mandated only textile fabrics, banned Spain leads record 34 NBA zippers and restricted the amount of coverage from the waist to the top of the knees for men - so-called “jam- mers” - and to the upper body and upper legs for women.
