註釋As a showcase for ideal urban visions, Olympic Villages encompass the utopian disposition of the Olympic Games. More precisely, Olympic Villages could be understood as a heterotopia, a theorization that stems from an analysis of their historical, conceptual, and spatial evolution over the course of the Summer Olympic Games. Against this backdrop, the authors analysed some notable examples of Olympic Villages as they questioned the relationship between their proposed "legacies" and their subsequent integration in the urban realities of their host cities. They conclude that most Olympic Villages have not fulfilled their legacy role as proposed by the IOC. This suggests that the authors need to further explore the relationship between the host region's urban development and the Olympic Games so that the desired "Olympic legacy" may become part of the daily life of the host cities.
