- How has the Olympic regeneration overcome obstacles?
- The construction of the Olympic Park in just five years was an impressive achievement.
- it is expected to lead to the regeneration of this part of east London
- There
were many obstacles that needed to be overcome:
- •Land that was previously polluted by industry had to be decontaminated before building could begin
- •Existing landowners and users had to leave the site. Some protested, but the land was bought from them by the ODA
- •Electricity pylons had to be removed and overhead cables buried below ground to improve the appearance of the landscape
- •The land had to be brought together under one new owner, the ODA (Olympic Delivery Authority) which was set up by the government
