Universities and the Olympic Games
websitebuilder-hub • 22 November 2017
As the Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games draw to a close we reflect back on the London 2012 Olympic Games, widely acknowledged to be among the most successful Games in history.
Part of the reason for London's success was that discussion about the Games' future legacy had begun even before the bid was won. In 2007 OpenCities director Marc Stephens (who was previously in charge of developing the blueprint for the Games' social legacy while at the Mayor of London's development agency) was asked to present a paper at a conference sponsored by the Guardian newspaper in London on how universities in countries such as the USA are an important source of future professional athletes.
The results that came out of OpenCities' research were quite surprising.
