Einleitung
The authors analyze the impact of mega events on local politics (as well as how local politics affects the ability to effectively leverage mega events for urban transformation), with particular focus on the US Games in Los Angeles 1984, Atlanta 1996, and Salt Lake City 2002. They affirm that, although the three host city models varied, local community benefits tended to be intangible in all instances. Their conclusion about the ability of even well-run Games to provide a material boost to the city and especially to its lower-income residents is not optimistic. (geändert)
