Description:
For a long time, the Summer and Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games have been a source of competition among candidate cities. In recent years, however, a new question has become the priority: how can hosting the Olympics contribute to a city's sustainable development? Indeed, the Olympic and Paralympic Games have become catalysts of sustainable urban transformations that, once implemented in host cities, can be replicated elsewhere.
This conference will focus on this trend from the angle of Paris, Los Angeles, Milan, and Brisbane, the current and future Olympic and Paralympic host cities.
