Abstract： |
This paper focuses on the influence of Olympic Games on the London‘s urban development and summarizes the characteristics of mega-events as the instrument for the urban development strategy. The analysis starts from the discussion
of relationship between the host of Games and the London‘s development strategy. The differences between the original goals setting and real effects of Olympic related exploitation in the London East are explained with the different aspects, e.g. decision making‘s process, political atmosphere as well as the institutional framework. As conclusion, the author tries to put the host of mega-events under the perspective of systematic communication between the global and local levels. Based on such understandings, the issues in utilizing mega-events for urban developments will be organized with clear consciousness in economic, social and cultural issues, which rise from global, national, regional as well as local levels. |
