The book is about megaevents and their host cities. There is an increasing interest in hosting mega events (such as the Olympic Games and the World Fairs), which generate a competition among cities. Turkish cities are recently being involved in this competition. In addition to that, megaevents have largescale and longterm impacts on the built environment, which has not been thoroughly discussed in urban studies. The methodology which is based on a qualitative analysis comprises three steps: a historical analysis made on the Olympic host cities, and two case studies. The first case is Athens as the 2004 Olympic city, the second case is Istanbul as an Olympic bid city for four consecutive Olympics: 2000, 2004, 2008 and 2012. This study recognizes but qualifies the concept of megaevent hosting. It is shown that megaevent hosting is a capacitybuilding process, whilst it has a potential to generate overdose investments problem in the built environment. The most significant conclusion of the study is that the ability of coping with this problem is correlated with the ability of absorbing the investments made.
