Urban planning of Rio

Future DevelopmentRio de Janeiro for 2016 Olympics. AECOM won the  International Competition for the Urban Master Plan of the Rio 2016 Olympic Park last  August. Once again cities are incorporating planning for a ‘Games Mode’ and a ‘Legacy Mode’ where the area is slowly transformed over the proceeding years into new uses. Previous Olympic Parks have had varying rates of success transformed areas of cities including Sydney and Beijing(although there are still issues surrounding the main stadium), whereas Athens has fallen into disrepair and been hard hit by the financial crisis.

Concept The park itself, according to the designers, is inspired by Brazil's rainforests. It will contain "five 'villages' inspired by rare flora found in the Atlantica rainforests ... The villages comprise striking canopy structures providing shade and shelter for spectators."
