奥运会和城市变化之间的复杂联系在批判性城市研究中以不同的方式被理论化，包括从新自由主义企业家治理的实施、通过大规模重建项目的绅士化、增长机器政治的复制以及通过城市品牌政治获得象征性资本等方面解读奥运会城市建设。根据这些观点，我们在本文中反思了奥运会如何加剧当代资本主义下城市政治经济的更广泛趋势，以2016年里约为例。我们试图通过转向大卫哈维（2003）对剥夺积累的概念化来做到这一点。我们的假设是，这一概念对于理解在当前资本主义结构中奥运城市建设的不那么例外的特征具有相当大的启发性价值。我们的研究结果证实了哈维的阐述的相关性的经验基础上的大型体育赛事，但也概述了局限性。
The intricate links between the Olympics and urban change have been theorised in diverse ways in critical urban studies, including readings of Olympic city-making in terms of enforcement of neoliberal entrepreneurial governance, gentrification through large-scale redevelopment projects, reproduction of growth-machine politics, and acquisition of symbolic capital through city branding politics. Following these points, we reflect in this paper on how the Olympics exacerbate wider trends in urban political economy under contemporary capitalism in the case of Rio 2016. We attempt to do so by turning to David Harvey’s (2003) conceptualisation of accumulation by dispossession. Our hypothesis is that this concept holds a sizeable heuristic value for making sense of the not-so-exceptional character of Olympic city-making in the present configuration of capitalism. Our findings confirm the relevance of Harvey’s elaboration on the empirical ground of sport mega-events but also outline limitations.
