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 indepth 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 worlds leading sports megaevent this book examines and evaluates those legacies The London Olympics and Urban Development the megaevent city is composed of new research conducted by academics and policy makers It combines case study analysis with conceptual insight into the role of a sports megaevents in transforming the city It critically assesses the narrative of legacy as a framework for legitimizing urban changes and examines the use of this framework as a means of evaluating the outcomes achieved This book is about that process of renewal with a focus on the period following the 2012 Games and the diverse social political and cultural implications of Londons use of the narrative of legacy

In the summer that saw the first successful flight of the Zeppelin a 140 acre site of scrubland in West London was transformed into the White City which housed the 1908 FrancoBritish Exhibition and a stateoftheart stadium built to house the first London Olympics The Olympics were organised by volunteers in just 18 months and at a fraction of the cost of the modern Olympics and yet just as today the sport was overshadowed by doping scandals and caused international uproar The ferocious competitiveness of a US team dominated by New York Irish Americans led to a succession of scandals culminating in the historic marathon when Italian confectioner baker Dorando Pietris heroic efforts at the limits of exhaustion so entranced onlookers that track officials helped him across the finish line Coinciding with the 100th Anniversary of the first London Olympics this delightful social and sporting history illustrated with over 70 contemporary images provides a thoughtprovoking contrast to the forthcoming 2012 Olympic Games
