520			_aIn the light of London's Olympic bid, considers the positive and negative aspects of sports-led regeneration. Suggests that this type of regeneration can bring economic and social benefits but often supporters fail to look at resulting costs. University of Derby research into the perceived benefits and costs to the people of Manchester of hosting last year's Commonwealth Games revealed a number of benefits such as increased tourism, rejuvenated local economies and improved infrastructure and built environment. Costs such as overcrowding, noise pollution, under-use of new facilities and disruption were also identified. There is also a risk that the sporting event may not be a success. Concludes that a cost-benefit calculation structure and more research into social costs would help those involved in sports development and regeneration.
