Book excerpt: As soon as London won the bid to host the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2005, plans were put in place to deal with the enormous transport challenges that this would present. Over the seven-year period that followed, Transport for London oversaw a huge number of upgrades and infrastructure improvements to London's transport network. Accompanying these construction projects, was a major publicity campaign and planning process to ensure that the thousands of visitors could travel to the games as swiftly as possible, while allowing ordinary Londoners to carry on their daily lives.

Book excerpt: The Committee published a report into transport planning issues relating to the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games (HCP 588-1, session 2005-06, ISBN 9780215027900) in March 2006, highlighting a number of concerns. The Olympic Delivery Authority, the body which has primary responsibility for the development of infrastructure for the Games, published a consultation draft of the Olympic Transport Plan in October 2006, with an expected publication date for the Plan in Summer 2007. The Authority intends to revise the Plan further in 2009, in light of experiences at the Beijing Games in 2008, with the final version emerging in 2010 or early 2011. The Committee's report finds that, although a significant amount of work has been done on transport planning matters, concerns still remain that the delivery plans across most of the transport modes are vague, and the ODA is not exhibiting any sense of urgency about producing more detailed plans. Key issues of concern highlighted include: the need for robust contingency planning to be at the heart of the Olympic Transport Plan; the reliability of modelling assumptions for road traffic levels to avoid congestion on the Olympic Route network; the lack of detailed plans for using the waterways network; and the need for the Transport Plan to deliver a lasting transport legacy when the Games are over.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. The London Olympics and Urban Development: the mega-event 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 mega-events 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 London’s use of the narrative of legacy.
