  • London Hosts the 2012 Summer Olympic Games
    World Events/2012 Olympic Games London Hosts the 2012 Summer Olympic Games London, the capital city of England and the United Kingdom, is the Host City for the 2012 Summer Olympic Games. The Games will be held from July 27 – August 12, 2012. In addition the 2012 Summer Paralympics, games for athletes with physical challenges, will also be hosted by London from August 29 – September 9 2012. In July of 2005, London learned that it had won the right to host the 2012 Summer Games, beating out the other finalists Madrid, Moscow, New York City, and Paris. It is the third time for London to host the games, after 1908 and 1948. A lot of hard work has gone on in London to prepare for this event. It takes years of planning to produce the Olympic Games by city officials, Olympic committee members, sports planners, architects, water managers, environmental experts, landscape architects, transportation managers, housing designers, financial managers, health and safety experts, information specialists and more. Thousands of details must be considered to provide for the approximately 10,500 athletes from about 205 countries, as well as over 5,000 team officials, thousands of media representatives and millions of fans who will travel to London or watch the games from home. The Olympic and Paralympic Game are the biggest peacetime event in the world. Some of the events for the 2012 Games will be held at locations outside of the city of London, because many Olympic sports require their own large and specially designed venue or facility. It is necessary for host cities of Olympic Games to find areas of land spacious enough for these special facilities.

  • The Olympics – Going for Gold and What Else? Can London 2012 Urban Regeneration Legacy Be Considered As Sustainable Development?
    The Olympics – Going for gold and what else? Can London 2012 urban regeneration legacy be considered as sustainable development? James Cunningham Master Thesis Series in Environmental Studies and Sustainability Science, No 2014:033 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of Lund University International Master’s Programme in Environmental Studies and Sustainability Science (30hp/credits) LUCSUS Lund University Centre for Sustainability Studies The Olympics - Going for gold and what else? Can London 2012 urban regeneration legacy be considered as sustainable development? James Cunningham A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of Lund University International Master’s Programme in Environmental Studies and Sustainability Science Submitted May 15, 2014 Supervisor: Chad Boda, LUCSUS, Lund University (This page is intentionally left blank) 2 Abstract: Olympic legacy was previously seen as a potential burden on the host city, however an evolutionary shift has occurred whereby it can now be regarded as an instrument in wider urban policy planning. Sustainable development is a requirement set by some governments, and London 2012 aimed to use the Olympic legacy for sustainable development in the form of urban regeneration. This paper is a case study of the London 2012 Olympics, using mixed methods involving interview, documents and personal observations. The focus is on the potential for mega sporting events such as the Olympics to contribute to sustainable urban development, and the London case, is used as an example of how this potential can be realised, and what problems it can occur. Within this, I analyse the concept of legacy itself, before using that definition to understand the sustainability of the London Olympics via the three pillars of sustainable development (Environment, Social and Economic).
