چکیده
A Lasting Legacy for London?, a document produced by the London Assembly,2 has highlighted key points of the legacy of previous Games. The legacy left by the Games in four previous host cities – Barcelona in 1992, Atlanta in 1996, Sydney in 2000 and Athens in 2004 – was assessed for nine key sectors. These results are summarised in Table 1 overleaf, which analyses the data using a scorecard system based on work by Pitts and Liao.3 This shows that performance has been extremely variable. A major part of the infrastructure programme for the London 2012 Olympics is to provide a legacy that will play a major part in supporting regeneration in the Lower Lea Valley area. Yet, to date, there is little evidence that past Games have delivered benefits to those people and places most in need.1 Indication of a sustainable and positive legacy from previous Olympic Games is mixed and uneven – for example in terms of improvements to housing and transport, as well as in terms of community and cultural facilities. the olympic transport legacy
