520			_aConsiders how planners should deal with major events such as the Olympic games, and highlights the pros and cons for the host city. Advises that successful events should be planned well in advance with sustainability as a key responsibility. Any structures created for a major event should fulfil longer-term needs, such as the main stadium in the Manchester Commonwealth Games that was later reused as a football ground. Discusses the planned Olympic Games in Athens and highlights the benefits to business, tourism, construction and telecommunications. However, questions how the infrastructure will cope and whether the environmental and social impacts will overshadow the predicted economic gains.
