Failed Olympic Bids and the Transformation of Urban Space: Lasting Legacies? - Mega Event Planning 1st ed. 2017 edition

This book evaluates why cities choose to bid for the Olympics, why Olympic bids fail, and whether cities can benefit from failed bids. As Olympic bids become more deeply embedded in urban development and bid teams engage in legacy planning, Oliver and Lauermann demonstrate that bid failure is rarely definitive and is often a desirable result.
