The Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games will be driven by a radical reuse strategy as the organisers plan to use the city’s existing facilities.
The strategy aims to take the focus away from construction and allow for a human and community centred approach to the event’s planning and delivery.
“L.A. is built already to host a sustainable and a low-risk Olympic and Paralympic Games, we realised that we could lean in on this concept of radical reuse, which is radical simply because it’s not often deployed to host Games,” said Brence Culp, chief impact officer at LA28, as reported by Metropolis.
“It really means leveraging the best our city has to offer in all of the facilities that are needed to host an event of this magnitude.
“So not only stadiums and arenas, but also training facilities and residences like the beautiful Athletes Village that will be at University of California.”
It is claimed that hosting the Games in this way will drastically reduce its environmental impact and carbon footprint.
