註釋
This book is the first of its kind. No previous work has examined the legacy of an Olympic Games in one city and country. "The bitter-sweet awakening" demonstrates that legacy is not a one-off occurrence but is dynamic and evolving, and argues that there is a need to capture and document continuing impacts in an Olympic city. Legacy, as considered here, encompasses a large range of factors: public perceptions, and memories; media, identity and culture; business and economic outcomes; the future of Sydney's Olympic sites; impacts on sport itself; and impacts on the environment and the future of the "green Games". It also contains a detailed evaluation of the Paralympic Games and insights into the future Games.
