A Sporting Chance: the legacies of mega-events for post-industrial British cities
23 - 24 May 2012
Comparing the city of Manchester, ten years after it hosted the Commonwealth Games, with London - host to the Olympic Games in 2012, this two day workshop invites critical inter-disciplinary discussion and evaluation of the legacies of sporting mega-events for post-industrial British cities. The workshop is funded by the new Urban Experiments research theme at CRESC and brings together twelve academics whose research is concerned, in various ways, with exploring the socioeconomic, political and material transformations brought about by sporting mega events billed as catalysts for urban regeneration.
