Report
For the London 2012 Olympic Games to be successful, their planning, delivery and legacy must be fully accountable and based on the soundest evidence base available. The full RAND Europe report is compromised of three sections. We present a meta-analysis of previous Olympic Games and mega-event policy issues. Our findings are based on a literature review of previous evaluations and analyses, and aim to identify many key questions and issues that should be addressed in order to contribute to London 2012's aspiration as the most successful modern Games. The other two sections highlight policy areas (transport and security) in which specific research tools can be used to facilitate evidence-based policy making.
Setting the Agenda for an Evidence-based Olympics
RAND Europe releases its study undertaken to examine many of the key policy issues relating to both the 2012 Olympic Games and to London as its host city. It is designed to provide planners and other policy-makers with an evidence base on which to make sound and informed decisions, culminating in a safe and successful outcome with long-lasting benefits to London.
