Hosting the Olympic Games reveals the true costs involved for the
cities that hold these large-scale sporting events. It uncovers the
financing of the Games, reviewing existing studies to evaluate the
costs and benefits, and draws on case study experiences of the
Summer and Winter Games from the past forty years to assess the
short- and long-term urban legacies for host cities. Written in an
easily accessible style and format, it provides an in-depth
critical analysis into the franchise model of the International
Olympic Committee (IOC) and offers an alternative vision for future
Games. This book is an important contribution to understanding the
consequences for the host cities of Olympic Games.
