Urban Regeneration: London and the 2012 Olympics

Besides athletic milestones, what legacy will the 2012 London Olympics leave behind? Will the Games be remembered as the driving force behind the revitalization of over 500 acres of urban brownfield land? This program studies the potential of global events like the Olympics to counteract the causes and effects of urban decline and help build a sustainable community—if projects and resources are managed accordingly. The film envisions the impact of new facilities and improved transport links, the advent of 12,000 jobs, and the construction of 9,000 homes in what may be Europe’s largest urban park. Environmentalists, city planners, local residents, youth groups, and members of the Olympic committee contribute to the discussion. (30 minutes)
