Increasing concerns over climate and environmental change, the
global economic and financial crisis and impacts on host
communities, audiences, participants and destinations has
reinforced the need for more sustainable approaches to events.
Sustainability now features as part of the bid process for many
mega-events, such as the Olympic Games, as well as significant
regional and local events, where the event organisers are required
by funding bodies and governments to generate broader outcomes for
the locality. This book is the first to offer students a
comprehensive introduction to the full range of issues and topics
relevant to event sustainability including impacts, operating and
policy environments, stimulating urban regeneration and creating
lasting legacies, as well as practical knowledge on how to achieve
a sustainable event. Taking a holistic approach drawing on
multidisciplinary theory it offers insight into the economic,
socio-cultural and environmental impacts and how these can be
adapted or mitigated. Theory and practice are linked through
integrated case studies based on a wide range of event types from
mega events to community festivals to show impacts, best practice
and how better sustainable practice can be achieved in the future.
Learning objectives, discussion questions and further reading
suggestions are included to aid understanding and further
knowledge; additional resources for lecturers and students
including power point slides, video and web links are available
online. Events and Sustainability is essential reading for all
events management students and future managers.
