伦敦奥组委出炉了一份有关2012年伦敦奥运会的详细计划,包括为举办奥运会建造新场馆、道路和公园。这是欧洲迄今为止规模最为庞大的一份计划书。计划书主要由两部分组成,一是为奥运会腾出一片2.5平方公里的土地,二是兴建奥运会各建设项目以及考虑奥运会后为伦敦留下宝贵遗产,许多奥运遗产都将坐落在一些伦敦最落后的地区。
Londoners celebrated1 in the city's Trafalgar Square after London was awarded the 2012 Olympic Games.
Organizers of London's 2012 Olympics on Tuesday submitted their master plan for building new sporting venues2, roads and parks for the Games.
The Olympic Delivery Authority's 10,000-page document also includes details of how the facilities in east London will be changed for use after the event.
"This is one of the biggest and most complex planning applications ever prepared in this country and is another key milestone3 for us on the road to 2012," said Lord Coe, chairman of the London 2012 organizing committee.
There are two main parts of the application: the first is concerned with preparing the 246 hectare (2.5 sq km) site and the second with construction projects for the Olympics and the post-Games legacy4 for east London.
The application includes plans to construct five permanent sporting venues: the Olympic stadium, aquatics5 centre, velo park, handball arena6 and Eton Manor7 -- and three other temporary venues.
Changes to the plans include moving the international broadcast center and main press centre within the Olympic Park boundary and better integration8 of the Olympic village with the adjacent Stratford City regeneration development.
Plans also include homes -- of which 50 percent are set to be affordable9 housing -- and office space.
The application will be considered by a committee including representatives from all London boroughs10 affected11 by the plans. The ODA expects a final decision by late summer.
London 2012 bosses are expected to reveal shortly exactly what will happen to the Olympic stadium after the Paralympics Games end in September 2012.
Premier12 League football club West Ham and third division Leyton Orient have been in talks with the organizing committee to take over stadium in 2013.
Plans are for the 80,000-seater stadium to be reconfigured to a 25,000-seater, a scenario13 that would not suit Premier League clubs.
