Summary
This book examines the relationships between sport event hosting and community development goals. With sport events proliferating around the world, from major events to local events, the book explains how community goals can be embedded into sports event planning, and how events at all levels can be most effectively leveraged to achieve positive outcomes and legacies for local communities. Featuring real-world case studies and the perspective of industry practitioners in every chapter, the book explores the commercial, social, and political contexts in which events take place and what is meant by "legacy" and "impact." It introduces the key stakeholders, from residents and local government to NGOs, as well as the spectrum of goals that might be in play, and looks at partnerships working for the best effect. The book also explains the sports event management process, from bidding to planning to venue management to monitoring and evaluation, and considers how community development goals can, and should, be incorporated at every stage. With a practical focus, and full of useful features for learning and understanding, this is essential reading for any student or practitioner with an interest in sports events, community sport, sport development, event management, or sustainable business.
