| London hosts the Games for the
3rd time in 2012, after hosting them in 1908
& 1948 |
|

|
| London is the first Summer Host
City to embed sustainability into their planning
from the start. The aim is to set new standards, creating
positive, lasting change for the environment and communities.
London is committed to: |
|
| * use venues already existing in the
UK where possible |
|
| * only make permanent structures that
will have a long-term use after the Games |
|
| * build temporary structures for everything
else |

Since London won its bid to host the
2012 Summer Olympics in 2005, a flurry of planning and
building activity has occurred. Most of this is centred
on East London site at Stratford that will house Olympic
Park – where the bulk of Olympic sporting events
will be held – and the Olympic Village, where athletes
and officials will live for the duration of the Games.
Olympic Park will boast a range of new, purpose-built
sporting venues, many of which will remain for use by
the community long after the Games have finished.
