Abstract

This article explores the impact of hosting the Olympic Games on host cities, focusing on the examples of Tokyo 1964, Sochi 2014, and Paris 2024. It discusses both the positive and negative effects of hosting, such as infrastructure development and economic growth, as well as issues like displacement of residents, environmental damage, and corruption. The article argues that true sustainability in hosting the Olympics can only be achieved by prioritizing the long-term needs of the host city over profit. It concludes that the Olympics are inherently political and that the pursuit of profit often undermines positive social and environmental outcomes. [Extracted from the article]
