How NYC Won the Olympics

New York City's bid to host the 2012 Olympics resulted in a spate of new development, despite the selection of London as the host city. The NYU Rudin Center report, "How New York City Won the Olympics," describes how the 2012 plan shaped development and transformed major areas of New York City.

Mitchell L. Moss, NYU Rudin Center Director and author of the report, commented to DNA Info: "New York got everything that's desirable out of the Olympics without any of the burdens" in an article this week: How NYC's Failed 2012 Olympic Bid Shaped the City We Live in Today.
