title = "How hosting the Olympics can lead to displacement",
abstract = "This chapter explores the phenomenon of displacement caused by the Olympics. It uses the concept of 'accumulation by dispossession' to describe how hosting the Games often results in the eviction of low-income residents to make way for event infrastructure. Historical examples from Seoul, Atlanta, and Rio de Janeiro highlight the scale of forced evictions and the socio-economic consequences for affected communities. The chapter stresses the need for policies that protect residents' rights and ensure that the benefits of hosting mega-events are equitably distributed, avoiding further marginalization of vulnerable populations.
