The Urban Legacy of Olympic Villages: From Paris to Beijing (1924–2022) explores how mega-events reshape cities long after the closing ceremonies. Through critical analysis of territorial transformations and local development, this study unpacks the complex legacy and collective memory forged by Olympic Villages across nearly a century. Drawing on innovative parameters of urban planning and design, it reveals how host cities have approached construction, environmental stewardship, and community engagement, all while striving to protect and respect their surrounding territories. By illuminating the successes and challenges of these projects, this book offers fresh insights for planners, policymakers, and anyone passionate about the enduring impact of global events on our urban future.
