One of the distinguishing characteristics of London's bid to host
the games was its commitment to legacy where it was argued that
'the legacy would lead to the regeneration of an entire community
for the direct benefit of everyone who lives there'. This book
adopts a critical approach to the concept of 'legacy' focussing
specifically on housing. It argues there will be a range of both
intended and unintended legacy outcomes and an urgent need for
revised strategies if those original objectives are to be achieved.
The concept of legacy is explored in a number of ways, including an
overview of housing legacy in other host cities; the experiences
and perspectives of those residents decanted to make way for the
Olympic Park; a critical review of legacy plans; a detailed
analysis of the conversion of the Athletes' Village into housing;
and a case study of the emerging area 'Stratford High Street',
which explores issues of social class change and the limitation of
planning policies. Whilst taking housing as its focus, this book
adopts a sociological perspective by exploring the likelihood of
social class change in order to draw conclusions about
'gentrification', 'social polarisation' and the extent to which
'social inclusion' is reflected in housing legacies.
