This open access book describes the three planning approaches and
legacy impacts for the Olympic Games in one locale: the city of Los
Angeles, USA. The author critically compares the similarities and
differences of the LA Olympics by reviewing the 1932 and 1984
Olympics and by analyzing the concurrent planning process for the
2028 Olympics. The author unravels the conditions that make (or do
not make) LA28's argument "we have staged the Games before, we can
do it again" compelling. Setting the bid's promises into the
contemporary local and global mega-event contexts, the author
analyzes why LA won the bids, how those wins allowed LA to
negotiate concessions with the IOC and NOC, and how legacies were
planned, executed, and ultimately evolved. The author concludes
with a prediction which 2028 legacy promises might and might not be
fulfilled given the local and international Olympic contexts.
