“What would be the advantages? and disadvantages for a city to host the Olympic Games?”.

The London Olympic Games decision was made by International olympic committee. The announce of this decision was given the same days of the terrorist attack on July 7th 2005.
This decision involved the establishment of the different sectors of London’s communities to promote the new investments with intention to prepare the City of London for this relevant event.

On the one hand, there are the several advantageous aspects of that decision namely: investment in new buildings such as hotels, leisure centres, sportive constructions, and widening of public transport links such as airports, rail and tube stations.

This kind of the huge improvement of building’s activities creates the news jobs, so the main consequence is a reduce of unemployment.

An other aspect of this event is stimulation of the British culture around the world promoting new sportive and cultural activities, meanwhile keeping the London’s role just gained before; attracting millions of tourists.

Develop the new strategies, to resolve the quality of London transport service and increasing the efficiency of public transport means such as buses, trains, tube;
and in the meantime to protect the customer’s security around London.

Until now we have considered the positive aspects of this subject, however there are some negative points as well. The intention of the establishment of the British government, and the local authorities, was to check every aspect of the situation, but the realistic approach is impossible to realise this plan.
The negative consequences could be the guarantee of very efficient security service, such as safety in the public places, and the security in the streets. in general all the situations which involve the citizen security.
The London citizens could likely be disturbed in their daily life by city overcrowding and
raise of noise.
The last events around the world and London as well, have shown that frequently an increase of the public budget. The planned investments are often over cost due to the incorrect valuation, or rather, inappropriate private interests.
in fact many times the money flight to the Swiss banks.

In conclusion, the last analysed aspect make us think about the pass over all kind of race, cultures and the weakness of human beings.
Nevertheless, in general, that kind of event is a huge boost to economy of London encouraging an intercultural exchange, and
involving people to look at London through BBC channels.
