城市在申办奥运会等大型活动时所使用的措辞表明，好处将包括改善基础设施、投资城市基础设施以及重建被忽视的城市地区。然而，从历史上看，大型活动的影响是好坏参半的;虽然一些城市的发展努力得到了承认，但许多其他城市却因其随后的行动或缺乏行动而受到诋毁。然而，“遗产”一词本身就有问题;它提出了一种片面的积极影响观点，而没有充分考虑投标的负面风险。这项研究借鉴了六个不同的大型活动参与者的访谈，并说明了解决遗产的各种例子，包括详细了解伦敦2012年奥运会的遗产谈判关于使用奥林匹克体育场，以深入了解遗产的机会是如何开发的挑战。利用不舒服的知识的概念，在奥运会体育场的遗产使用的争议是用来检查参与决策的不同方的混合观点超过大型活动的遗产。最后，我们建议，未被承认的利益，这仍然是建设性的模糊投标阶段，创造了机会，令人不安的知识出现在规划过程中。使用不舒服的知识作为理论透镜提供了一个有用的结构，专注于在规划大型活动的知识的边界和局限性。
The rhetoric employed when cities bid for the right to host mega-events like the Olympic Games suggests that benefits will include improved infrastructure, investment in city infrastructure, and regeneration of neglected urban areas. However, the legacy of mega-events has historically been mixed; while some cities have been recognized for their development efforts, many others have been vilified for their subsequent actions, or lack thereof. The term legacy itself is, however, problematic; it presents a one-sided view of positive effects, without adequate consideration of downside risk in bidding. This research draws on interviews from people involved in six different mega-events and illustrates the challenges of addressing legacy with a variety of examples, including a detailed look at the London 2012 Olympic Games’ legacy negotiations regarding the use of the Olympic Stadium to gain insight into how legacy opportunities are developed. Drawing on the concept of uncomfortable knowledge, the dispute over the legacy use of the Olympic Stadium is used to examine the mixed perspectives of the different parties involved in decisions over mega-event legacies. We conclude by suggesting that unacknowledged interests, which remain constructively ambiguous during the bidding phase, create the opportunity for uncomfortable knowledge to arise in the planning process. The use of uncomfortable knowledge as a theoretical lens provides a useful construct to focus on the boundaries and limitations of knowledge in planning mega-events.
