Abstract

[As the previous chapters have illustrated, Olympic delivery was a meticulous construction that had a divisive impact upon some sections of the Newham community. Olympic delivery outcomes were underpinned by the widespread belief, portrayed by politicians and Olympic deliverers in the media and at community-consultation events, that all delivery measures were necessary preconditions to successful Olympic Games. One widely touted aspect of Olympic legacy was the inevitability of East London’s regeneration. This regeneration—never actually defined—ran parallel to the delivery of the Olympic Games and is explored here in relation to the physical and symbolic implications of urban modification. What follows is an analysis of the outcomes of Newham’s Olympic-related gentrification.]
