I can add to this with information about Sydney,Some of Sydney’s venues are still in use . Most of the venues have been remodeled to host local sports events and shows The main Olympic Park hosts Rugby,Cricket Australian Rules football concerts and an agricultural show each April. The Olympic village has been intergrated into the city and is now an area called Newington and is its own community

Thanks for all this info! Sydney was another case study I considered as well as Atlanta. Glad to hear they seem to have been effective at repurposing their Olympic infrastructure

We Sydneysiders seem to have been the one of only cities apart from London that’s done this well

I wonder what kind of impact billions of dollars invested into infrastructure and sustainability efforts would bring to a city without hosting an Olympic event. With careful planning and a commitment to the future, I feel better gains could be made without the Olympics. Most cities that host this event already have international acclaim and really don't need to recognition. For the long-term, citizens would likely be better off without the games. The intangible is the social impact the games could have on it's residents and businesses through the effort of building then hosting the event. Great job on the details and examples.

Good points here. In my opinion, hosting the games is also a huge way to show off the city they’re in, which has a lasting effect on Tourism and Travel. When Vancouver hosted in 2010, they used their infrastructure improvements to make tourism and travel more efficient - the upgrades to their stellar airport, the Canada Line from YVR to downtown, and the Sea-to-Sky highway from Vancouver to Whistler, among others.

This is a great analysis!. I love the Olympics, both from the sporting point-of-view and the urban planning and resource/infrastructure aspects. I would love to see you do a segment on the Winter Olympics, perhaps with a focus first on the 2030 Olympic bid cities - if they all stay with their potential interest, we have Salt Lake City, Sapporo, Barcelona, and Vancouver. All four have previously hosted Olympic Games (Barcelona hosted summer olympics), so how does their infrastructure compare, especially since the IOC is growing in their desire to use pre-existing facilities. Of course, I have a favorite, but I’d love to hear your analysis!

Thanks Ric! Two thoughts: 1. The winter olympics are much more expensive because of the infrastructure required. I know that's why they are considering revisiting cities that have already hosted since they have what they need already. 2. Fewer and fewer cities have made bids on future Olympics, with some cities simply dropping out. And it's become more difficult to find places that have consistent snow to count on for the games

It's going to be for LA when we host it. We have most of the venues already. The major construction is for people living in LA anyway so even if the Olympics decides to quit we wouldn't lose that much, but we would gain the political advantage of pushing out infrastructure that needs to be built.
