New York City and the 2012 Summer Olympics

Paper Summary:

This paper argues that although there is no guarantee that New York City will be chosen to host the Olympics;the world community is very sympathetic to what happened to New York in 2001, and New York may well be chosen to host this event. The author believes that the positive energy, financial gains and overall improvements to the city will outweigh the negative effects on life in an already-congested city and the risk of another terrorist attack. The paper concludes that the most compelling reason for hosting the Summer 2012 Olympics in New York City may be its capacity to help heal a city that has suffered such a devastating blow as 9/11.

From the Paper:

"While the Summer Olympics will only last three weeks, many permanent benefits will come to the city. The city's public transportation system will be upgraded, made more attractive and possibly expanded. New York City has one of the most efficient public transportation systems in the world, but currently looks worn and tired. Trains and stations will be cleaned, and other cosmetic improvements such as better lighting will benefit New Yorkers long after the Olympics are over."
