Question

  The venue of the 2012 Summer Olympics was officially awarded to London during the 117th IOS Session in Singapore on July 6,2005. Since then,London has been up to its neck in preparing for the games.

  London has a lot to be excited about being the next Olympic venue requires a major eco?nomic development in terms of tourism and infrastructure(基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施) development as well as job generation and transportation systems expansion.

  Indeed, as early as 2004, plans for the Olympic Park were already known as part of London's bid. Standing on a 500-acre property specifically for the games, the Olympic Park will have a hockey centre，a handball arena，a water polo arena，a basketball arena and the Olympic Stadium, where the opening and closing ceremonies will be held.

  It is expected that the Olympic Stadium alone would be a major attraction in itself,as it is designed to seat up to 80,000 spectators from all around the world.

  Although construction is still on-going，the improved Greenway walking and cycle paths provide an ideal advantage point for curious tourists to see much of the park.

  Along with the Olympic Park,Westfield Stratford City shopping center is also being devel?oped as part of the overall blueprint of the infrastructure preparations for the 2012 Olympics.

  It is said one of the factors that won London its bid is its plans of modernising its transport system. Public transport in London will be expanded.

  To directly transport commuters(月票乘客) from St. Pancras International to the Olympic Park,a high speed shuttle train will be put up. And of course, London minicabs will be as read-y as ever to serve.

Almost half a million tourists，athletes，and spectators are expected to come for the Olym?pics. This is a huge opportunity for generating both private and public income before, during and even after the games. There is no doubt the legacy of the Olympic Games will be felt in London long after 2012.
