Evidence confirms that the economic outcomes and legacy benefits of hosting the Olympic Games vary considerably depending on the host city's location, level of development, and urban planning approach.
The retrieved literature consistently supports the claim that the economic and developmental impacts of the Olympic Games and other mega-sporting events are not uniform, but rather vary significantly across different host cities and nations based on local context, strategic planning, and prior economic conditions. Papers [1], [5], and [8] all explicitly discuss how host cities experience diverse economic development, infrastructure transformations, and legacy outcomes.
