Sustainable mega-events in developing countries : experiences and insights from host cities in South Africa, India and Brazil / ed. Kurt Ackermann
Edited by Konrad-Adenauer Stiftung - 2011
This manual identifies mega-events as innovative catalysts to promote climate change awareness and sustainable urban development. The authors consider in detail the FIFA World Cup™ (South Africa 2010; Brazil 2014), the Olympic Games (Brazil 2016) and the Commonwealth Games (India 2010). They share first-hand experiences of preparing for and hosting mega-events in South Africa, India and Brazil with three case studies from the cities of Cape Town, New Delhi and Rio de Janeiro. The manual also provides recommendations, which the authors hope will serve as encouragement to the sustainable development efforts of developing countries hosting or planning to host mega-events in the future.
