虽然奥运会和英联邦运动会等大型活动给旅游业带来的好处已得到很好的证明，但人们对这些活动与城市重建的联系却不太了解。本文以2002年在英国曼彻斯特举行的英联邦运动会为例，探讨了这些联系。随着曼彻斯特等工业化城市传统经济活动的衰落，大型活动作为经济发展工具变得越来越重要。大型活动的文献表明，强调直接的短期经济，社会和环境的影响，但很少有作者联系大型活动的城市再生的长期。更重要的是，很少有证据表明，在城市更新过程中，曾有政策和计划利用大型活动的成功。然而，旅游业与城市复兴之间的关系已得到承认，其重要性也在不断得到审查。本文发现，经济遗产是压倒一切的因素，并已作出相当大的努力，以确保没有持续的成本事件的居民。将为英联邦运动会建造的设施旨在用作未来活动的世界级体育设施。这也将有助于提升曼彻斯特作为一个体育城市的形象，这个城市已经在世界足球比赛中闻名，但渴望扩展到体育和旅游活动的其他渠道。举办大型国际活动不仅对旅游业有利，而且与经济和社会的各个方面都有联系。曼彻斯特积极寻求体育和文化活动的政策，作为展示城市的一种手段，并加快城市更新的进程。本文将探讨英联邦运动会的管理结构，政策和计划如何与现有的努力，以实现长期的城市再生。
Whilst the tourism benefits of mega events such as the Olympics and Commonwealth Games have been well documented, the links with urban renewal are less well understood. This paper explores these linkages in the case of the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester, U.K. With the decline of traditional economic activities in industrialised cities such as Manchester, mega events as an economic development tool is becoming increasingly important. The mega events literature indicates an emphasis on the immediate short-term economic, social and environmental impacts, but few authors link mega events to urban regeneration in the long term. More importantly, there is very little evidence of the policies and programs used to capitalise on the success of mega events in the process of urban renewal. However, the relationship between tourism and urban regeneration has been acknowledged and its importance is constantly being reviewed. This paper finds that economic legacy is the overriding factor and that there has been considerable efforts to ensure that there are no ongoing costs of the event to the residents. The facilities that will be built for the Commonwealth Games are intended for use as world class sporting facilities for future events. This will also help to promote an image of Manchester as a sporting city already well known in the world game of soccer but eager to expand into other avenues of sports and tourism events. The hosting of large international events is not only beneficial for the tourism industry but it is linked to all aspects of the economy and society. Manchester has actively sought out a policy of sports and cultural events as a means of showcasing the city as well as accelerating the process of urban renewal. The paper will examine how the management structures, policies and programs for the Commonwealth Games were linked with existing efforts to achieve long-term urban regeneration.
