Stimmen zu »Failed Olympic Bids and the Transformation of Urban Space«
“We know that hosting the Olympic Games causes changes in cities. But Robert Oliver and John Lauermann show that failed bids also have the possibility of generating new urban narratives and creating new urban structures. Focusing on bids that fail, rather than just the winners that host, the book extends our understanding of mega events.” (John Rennie Short)
