The Bitter-sweet Awakening: The Legacy of the Sydney 2000 Olympic GamesThis book is the first of its kind. No previous work has examined the legacy of an Olympic Games in one city and country. "The bitter-sweet awakening" demonstrates that legacy is not a one-off occurrence but is dynamic and evolving, and argues that there is a need to capture and document continuing impacts in an Olympic city. Legacy, as considered here, encompasses a large range of factors: public perceptions, and memories; media, identity and culture; business and economic outcomes; the future of Sydney's Olympic sites; impacts on sport itself; and impacts on the environment and the future of the "green Games". It also contains a detailed evaluation of the Paralympic Games and insights into the future Games. |
