Ralf me what I think is important to plan each Olympic Games is the day after,that hosting the Games is an excuse to reorganize and improve the infrastructure of the city, un ejemplo claro fue Barcelona que le sirvio para regenerar y impulsar una amplia zona de la ciudad.

Thanks Federico. The truth is that this subject is for broad debate. Especially relevant is what you comment on their intended use these spaces, whether or Expos Olympic venues, end once events. I have understood that Olympic committees take into account in their choice to be present in every application programs reuse of these spaces to the city itself, however I doubt it's one of the priority criteria. Al final organizar unos Juegos Olímpicos supone un negocio muy suculento en el que no siempre prima la oportunidad que supone de renovar la ciudad.

'Piece of post you've marked, Ralf!
Es interesante que hayas reunido imágenes de varios planes para al ordenación de distintas sedes olímpicas.
In his view, what comes to mind as the big simultud comment is in approach between this. It's like if you were using a recipe management, para disponer los espacios y edificios emblemáticos.
It would be interesting to reflect on urban strategies so similar and, as they are so common in Exhibition, conducen a enormes esfuerzos económicos que se consumen durante el evento y luego se abandonan a su suerte produciendo pedazos fantasma de ciudad que no se sabe como aprovechar.
The only group of spaces that has been positive for the city is the one Heizo in Barcelona 92. That if there was a consistent city project.
