This book is being written with just a few months to go before the 2012 Olympics commences towards the end of July. Already there is plenty of interest, and this is bound to grow still further as the Opening Ceremony draws nearer.
There are many aspects of the Olympics which can be covered in a book such as this. For the time being it is appropriate to focus attention on the development of the sports venues at the main site in Stratford, East London, where many of the most popular events will be taking place.
As is covered in a separate book, it has been necessary for extensive redevelopment and rebuilding work to take place. The amount that has been achieved in a relatively brief time is truly amazing. There is a bright future for the area, post Olympics, as well, with a valuable legacy.
As you will see, the construction of these magnificent new sports venues has been a definite achievement which will be of lasting benefit to a large part of London. |
