What is Planning Olympic Legacies : Transport Dreams and Urban Realities about?
When a city wins the right to hold the Olympics, one of the cited advantages is the catalytic effect upon the urban and transport projects of the host cities. However, Kassens-Noor questions this fundamental assertion of host cities who claim to have used the Olympic Games as a way to move forward their urban agendas.
