Failed Olympic Bids and the Transformation of Urban Space

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.

Aceasta carte evalueaza de ce orasele aleg sa liciteze pentru Jocurile Olimpice, de ce esueaza ofertele olimpice si daca orasele pot beneficia de oferte esuate. Pe masura ce ofertele olimpice devin mai adanc inradacinate in dezvoltarea urbana si echipele de licitatii se angajeaza in planificarea mostenita, Oliver si Lauermann demonstreaza ca esecul ofertelor este rareori definitiv si este adesea un rezultat dorit.
