9.30 | MEGA-EVENTS: BILLION DOLLAR PARTIES OR SPRINGBOARDS FOR DEVELOPMENT?
When countries or cities succeed in attracting mega sport events, they are routinely celebrated by the media as engines for economic development in the host country. In reality ordinary citizens rarely see any benefits but are left to pay the bills for these billion dollar parties. Play the Game outlines some of the failures and possibilities of past events and asks whether mega sport events can be trimmed to serve social needs in the future. |
