Report 5 (2013)
post-games evaluation, meta-evaluation of the impacts and legacy of the London 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games, research questions
This report examines available evidence of the impacts and legacy that emerged from activity taking place in the pre-Games, Games-time and immediate post-Games period (up to the end of 2012). It draws on a wide range of available sources of evidence, including monitoring and output data, evaluations and research undertaken by other organisations and individuals and primary research commissioned or undertaken directly by the meta-evaluation team. It also incorporates outputs from a large programme of stakeholder consultation. This report is therefore an initial assessment of the emerging legacy from the 2012 Games for each of four legacy themes (Sport, Economy, Community Engagement and Regeneration of East London), primarily setting out what has already been achieved and delivered. Where possible, it also provides a sense of direction and scale in terms of what can be expected post-Games over the medium and longer term.
