Abstract

Hosting the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the largest and most prestigious sporting events in the world, was a privilege for London. This paper follows a paper published in this journal prior to the Olympic and Paralympic Games (‘Transport planning for an Olympic Games’, Journal of Urban Regeneration and Renewal, Vol. 5, No. 4) in which, as Commissioner of Transport for London (TfL), the author set out the strategic and detailed transport planning effort that was undertaken before the Games. Now that the Games have finished, the author has revisited this topic to set out how London’s transport networks performed during the Games and how TfL is using this unique experience by working with others to ensure a lasting legacy following on from the Games, particularly in supporting the continued regeneration of east London.
