Olympics Games: the organisation, the history, the committee, the projects. Rome 1960-Barcelona 1992: From a dream to the Olympic model
Keywords:
Olympic games, legacy, sustainability, urbanismAbstract
The choice of analysing the Olympic Games of Rome 1960 and Barcelona 1992 belongs to the conflicting and diverse impact generated on the two cities. I will examine how management models will either prevent or increase the exploitation of intangible benefits, necessarily associated to the Olympic event. Olympic venues are at the heart of Olympic planning, as they constitute the citizens’ Olympic legacy. My critical analysis, regarding these two mega- events, is carried out through the development of 13 guidelines, aiming to offer effective criteria in order to guarantee not only economic revenue but also intangible, future benefits. This investigation shows how cities could favour from these intangible benefits, which develop as a consequence of both, the Olympic bid’s success and the infrastructural evolution.References
