Abstract

The aim of this research note is to report on the preparation and implementation of the urban transport projects for the Rio 2016 Olympics. A range of studies shows that infrastructure development and/or improvement is the main reason for hosting a mega-event; however, initial analyses indicate the opposite. The main conclusion is that, in terms of transport, Rio de Janeiro is very unlikely to cope with its longed-for sustainable transport legacy.
