A study with interesting theoretical perspectives and a sound empirical basis
Nelma Gusmão de Oliveira’s study Mega-Events, City and Power (Routledge) examines the power relations that emerge from the convergence of the universe in which the sporting spectacle is produced and the universe in which a city is produced. According to Christian Tolstrup Jensen, de Oliveira makes a convincing case that sport events impact urban development – and vice-versa. A rewarding read, concludes our reviewer.
