The author had unprecedented access to the legacy organisations, institutions, and individuals involved with the 2012 Games. This has allowed her, in a highly accessible and engaging style, to capture a sense of the unfolding drama as attempts were made in London to harness the juggernaut of Olympic development, and its commercial imperative, to the broader cause of meaningful post-industrial regeneration in East London. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe book argues that London will become the test-case city against which the legacies of all future Olympic Games, and other sporting mega-events, will be judged.
