Abstract
New Urbanism is often used to tackle urban sprawl and the decline of downtown by looking back to the traditional town and pursuing a set of "best practices". However, in the process of re-inserting Olympic venues into the urban fabric and evaluating post-game integration, legacy planners have already, albeit implicitly, engaged some New Urbanist principles. One such case that has achieved considerable post-game success is the London Olympic Park. This project seeks to develop an evaluation scheme based on New Urbanism through close reading of the Charter and other literature. The spatial organization of different Olympic models is analyzed with regard to the ease of implementation of New-Urbanism-led integration. London Olympic Park is evaluated to illustrate the strength of New Urbanism in the integration of mega-event venues.
