Shaping the Olympic Park Legacy

The 2012 Games legacy

The hosting of the London 2012 Games is about more than a sporting celebration.

The Games will leave a lasting legacy of world-class sporting facilities, jobs, better skilled Londoners, new communities, improved transport links, businesses more fit to compete on a global scale and a transformation of East London.

The challenge for the London Development Agency (LDA) is to ensure that all Londoners are involved in shaping a sustainable legacy.

The legacy partners

We are working closely with key partners to deliver not just the physical transformation of an area but a real lasting legacy of social, economic and physical improvements. These include:

• the 5 host Boroughs (Waltham Forest, Tower Hamlets, Newham, Hackney and Greenwich)
• Greater London Authority (GLA)
• Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA)
• Central government
• London Thames Gateway Development Corporation (LTGDC)
• Lee Valley Regional Park Authority (LVRPA)

Shaping the Legacy Olympic Park

This is a key document in the ongoing planning for the post-2012 Games Park and its surrounding areas.

Shaping the Legacy Olympic Park has been pulled together as a result of ongoing work between the legacy partners. It clearly identifies essential criteria that partners agree must be taken into account over the next 18 months in the legacy masterplanning process, as well as agreeing on the need for widespread consultation with communities, businesses and individuals.
