London 2012


The Olympic Games are coming to London in 2012. Eyes from all over the world will descend on London and the UK and so it is vital that we make a good impression.
Alot of money has to be invested into regenerarion and preparing for the games. Have a look yourself at the plans for the next fours years.

The focus of the London 2012 Games will be the Olympic Park in east London, which will house the new sport venues.

What is the site like now? Why has this site been chosen? Advantages/Disadvantages?

Images of the site can be found here.

As for transport and accessibility, the games are aiming for 100 per cent of spectators to get to the Games by public transport, cycling or on foot as a means of promoting sustainability. The government want London 2012 to be the first ‘sustainable’ Games, setting new standards for major events.

When considering the huge volume of people anticipated to descend on London for the games, security is an obvious issue that needs to be raised. Therefore, the aim is to ensure safe and secure Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2012, which everyone can enjoy. Accomodation also needs to be provided for the tourists from all over the world.
Who will benefit from this development? Who wont benefits from this development?
