Sport in the City looks closely at how sport has been used in contemporary cities across the world, and evaluates policies, strategies and management. Five key areas are examined: - sport and urban economic regeneration - sports events: bidding - planning and organization - urban sports

tourism - sport and urban community development - urban politics and sports policy Sport in the City therefore represents an essential resource for urban policy makers and the sports policy community. It will be invaluable reading for sports studies students and urban geographers.
