The Unusual Approach of Los Angeles Towards Olympic Infrastructure

The Olympics often result in the construction of stadiums and infrastructure that are eventually abandoned. However, the Tokyo Olympics in 2022 were more sustainable due to reduced carbon emissions caused by fewer people flying to the event. A city in Los Angeles aims to use this as motivation to improve their own environmental impact when hosting the Olympics. While progress may not be perfect, the city has made significant strides that otherwise would not have been made. The deadline of the Olympics serves as a catalyst for positive change.
