Abstract
The Olympic Park site in east London was fragmented, polluted and divided by pylons and railways. In preparation for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the UK's Olympic Delivery Authority has implemented environmental improvement on a huge scale – including remediating large swathes of the former industrial land, repairing and improving the waterways, removing invasive plants in river and rail corridors, and creating new habitats for native flora and fauna. This paper considers the London 2012 environmental strategy, the challenges in developing and implementing the strategy across the project, the achievements with regard to ecology, air quality, noise and waste, and the lessons which have been learned.
