Zusammenfassung

TLDRThe 33rd Olympiad in Paris concluded successfully, emphasizing the use of existing infrastructure rather than new constructions. This approach mirrors London's strategy during the 2012 Olympics, particularly in Stratford, which underwent a remarkable transformation from a polluted area to a thriving community. The London Stadium and surrounding park were developed for the games, leading to significant urban renewal. Today, Stratford boasts 12,000 residents, with projections of 40,000 jobs in the area by next year, alongside the development of East Bank, a cultural hub featuring galleries and theaters.
