What is Legacy?

In summer 2012, the eyes of the world will be on London as we host the Olympic and Paralympic Games. The sporting events, and the cultural festivals that accompany them, will be an unforgettable experience for participants and spectators alike... the greatest show on earth in the heart of one of the world's greatest cities.

But the impact doesn't stop in 2012. The legacy of hosting the Games - the difference this will make to the lives of people in the area, across London, and beyond - will last long after the sound of cheers has faded.

A commitment of a lasting legacy of social, physical and economic regeneration was at the heart of London's bid for the Games, and has underpinned the design of the Olympic Park and the Olympic venues.

The Olympic Park Legacy Company is leading the long term physical transformation of park after the Games. It aims to create a lasting legacy from the London 2012 Games by developing the Park to become, in time, a new and prosperous metropolitan area of the city.

The Company will use its public assets to lever in and secure private investment for the development of the Park. It will set standards for the quality of design, construction and urban planning which will ensure a sustainable and long term future for the Park and its neighbouring communities.

The legacy of the 2012 Games has already started with training programmes, business support initiatives, access to jobs and planning for the post-Games physical transformation of the Olympic Park.
