Abstract
This chapter offers an overview of Rio de Janeiro’s past, current processes of change, and a preliminary discussion of the legacies that will be left by the event. The first part charts the history of urban change, events and mega-projects that have shaped the development of the city. The second examines the different Olympic bids the city has prepared in the last two decades followed by an analysis of the preparations and their impacts six years after the Olympic nomination. Finally, the conclusion attempts to answer the questions posed with one year still to go before the start of the Olympics.
