This book examines the urban legacy of the 2014 football World Cup
in Brazil across the seven cities that hosted matches. The authors,
all experts and natives of South America, analyse the context and
impacts of hosting the World Cup for each of the host cities. The
chapters use a range of background data and local knowledge and
understanding to critically assess what benefits or disadvantages
came along with bidding for and hosting World Cup final games, and
importantly considers who the beneficiaries where and are. It
further provides detailed empirical evidence that highlights a
growing trend in sporting mega events: the overestimation of
benefits and an underestimation of costs involved in hosting. The
book adds to the critical literature that provides a counterweight
to governments' aspirations to use mega events for the purposes of
development and/or globalization, irrespective of the views of
their citizens.
