2012: Summer Olympics, London
The approach of the London 2012 Games has led to the construction of the high-profile Olympic Park in east London. After the close of the Olympics, the facilities will become the largest urban park constructed in Europe in more than 150 years. London 2012 hopes to be the first 'sustainable' Olympic Games, characterized by the goals of combating climate change; reducing waste; enhancing biodiversity; promoting inclusion; and improving healthy living.
