In recent years, major sporting and cultural events such as the
Olympic Games have emerged as significant elements of public
policy, particularly in efforts to achieve urban regeneration. As
well as opportunities arising from new venues, these events are
viewed as a way of stimulating investment, gaining civic engagement
and publicizing progress to assist the urban regeneration process
more generally. However, the pursuit of regeneration involving
events is a practice that is poorly understood, controversial and
risky. Events and Urban Regeneration is the first book dedicated to
the use of events in regeneration. It explores the relationship
between events and regeneration by analyzing a range of cities and
a range of sporting and cultural events projects. It considers
various theoretical perspectives to provide insight into why major
events are important to contemporary cites. It examines the
different ways that events can assist regeneration, as well as
problems and issues associated with this unconventional form of
public policy. It identifies key issues faced by those tasked with
using events to assist regeneration and suggests how practices
could be improved in the future. The book adopts a
multi-disciplinary perspective, drawing together ideas from the
geography, urban planning and tourism literatures, as well as from
the emerging events and regeneration fields. It illustrates
arguments with a range of international case studies placed within
and at the end of chapters to show positive outcomes that have been
achieved and examples of high profile failures. This timely book is
essential reading for students and practitioners who are interested
in events, urban planning, urban geography and tourism.
