The existing shipping port will be converted into green zone, a much needed recreation area by the sea, for the Anatolian side of Istanbul. This project is being done regardless of the outcome of the bid.

Istanbul s Olympic Master Plan In the Forest Zone existing stone quarries will be filled and the green areas will be regenerated for sports like Mountain Biking and White Water Canoe and Kayak.

Challanges of Bidding for Major Events Cost Overruns Major sports events are always over the budget. For the 50 years, overruns have averaged 179 percent because of infrastructure and investment. It is substantially impossible to know the true cost the city of hosting a major sports event, and many of those extra costs are criticised by public. Moreover, a lot of host cities had to revised up to the budget in past, and most of this money came directly from the government budget

Challanges of Bidding for Major Events The Future of Sporting Venues The future trends for sports infrastructures in big cities will be not require a huge amount of money for maintenance and repair. Also, sports facilities capacity will be changeable with temporary seating and they could be recycled in other cities or regions.

Challanges of Bidding for Major Events The Future of Sporting Venues For example, 2012 Olympics consisted of 34 venues, but only eight are permanent. Also, some of the Olympic Venues could be recycled in other cities. Besides, temporary seating structures were added on either side in aquatic centre in order to increase capacity for the games. When these structures removed the capacity will be reduced, and people can use the centre after the Games.

Challanges of Bidding for Major Events The Future of Sporting Venues A lot of host cities have faced lots of issues after the construction of sports facilities. The biggest question is How the Olympic Venues will use after the games? A lot of stadium precious little content to bring in revenue yet still costs millions to maintain and repair them. Host cities try to avoid white elephants. Hence, the sports facilities should be used multipurpose business model.

Challanges of Bidding for Major Events Security Issues Security issues have become ever-increasingly central to the hosting of mega sports events. Security budgets for mega sports ever rise up billions of dollars. Various risks and security strategies are specific to different mega sports events including terrorist threats, spectator violent and urban crime. Hosting cities have to work very hard to avoid possible security threats.
