Officials stated that the beneficial legacy of this urban regeneration would be long lasting and advantageous to the local communities of the East End, which was among the poorest of London and even England. Given extremely ambitious goals, the large scale, high spending, the promise that the Olympics would enhance the life of the local community, and eradicate their poverty, has been seen as a tenuous promise.

3 1 INTRODUCTION 2 HYPOTHESIS and OBJECTIVES 3 METHODOLOGY 4 LITERATURE REWIEV 5FINDINGS 6CONSLUSION _hypothesis Despite the Government s efforts to promote socially mixed communities and its promise of an improvement that will mainly benefit local residents, the urban regeneration project and the Olympics 2012 social legacy won t benefit low-income residents of Newham borough but residents that are more affluent. In other words, it will cause exactly the opposite effect of what have been promised by local government, as local residents will suffer rough social and economic consequences.

6 1 INTRODUCTION 2 HYPOTHESIS and OBJECTIVES 3 METHODOLOGY _4 LITERATURE REWIEV 5FINDINGS 6CONSLUSION _literature review CONTEMPORARY VISION OF URBAN REGENRATION IN THE UK... a comprehensive and integrated vision and action which leads to the resolution of urban problems and which seeks to bring about a lasting improvement in the economic, physical, social and environmental condition of an area that has been subject to change (Roberts and Sykes, 2000: 17). SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY IN CONTEXT OF URBAN DEVELOPMENT Social sustainability can be broadly defined as the maintenance and improvement of well- being of current and future generations (Chiu, 2003). According to McKenzie, (2004) the condition incorporated equity of access to key services (including health, education, transport housing and recreation) (Cited in Mak and Peacok, 2011: ). EVENT-LED URBAN REGENERATION AND ITS COMPLICATIONS Mega events, such as the Olympics, are considered to be great catalyst for urban changes. They offer an exclusive opportunity, to the host city, to boost the economic advancement (achieved through tourist and employment increase), infrastructure improvements, and urban development (Lei and Spaans, 2009). However, given its large scale, budget, short time, and often high ambitions that are being promised, event-led regeneration has been highly criticized for numerous complications. The main issue related to mega events are residents displacement, and other various socio-economic disadvantages that might impact local, specifically low-income, residents (Watt 2013; Porter et al. 2009)

Relatively high levels of CRIME (IMD 17 in 2007)and perceptions of crime within the resident population (Drugs, Violence, Robbery etc.).

14 1 INTRODUCTION 2 HYPOTHESIS 3 LITERATURE REWIEV 4 METHODOLOGY _5 FINDINGS _6CONSLUSION _conclusion The first signal of a contradictory outcome was the residents displacement that took place during the early stages of the regeneration process. Moreover, displacement was not only specific to the resident who lived on the Olympic site but also it was extended to nearby areas due to the increase of the rent price. Overall, all data indicates that the local low-income residents won t socially benefit of this projects. Giving the fact that the Olympic legacy is designed to be fully deliver in next years, this study underlines only some insights toward the real outcome of the whole social outcome. Therefore, it is essential to carry on the future studies and under assessments and all promises and their development.
