Abstract | This research note critiques and develops the conceptual foundations of research that seeks to establish citizen’s attitudes towards mega-events. We argue that there needs to be a better appreciation of the relative influences of personal versus collective costs and benefits, as well as more understanding of the willingness of residents to trade short term impacts for those that occur over the longer term. For example, attitudes may be underpinned by willingness to trade temporary inconveniences (e.g. disruption) for lasting gains (urban regeneration) or to exchange short term benefits (event atmosphere) for long term costs (ongoing financial liabilities). |
