II. Tokyo 2020 Vision
Tokyo’s basic plan for the Olympics is to combine legacy buildings with new facilities to house athletes and host events. Meaningful and economic post-game usage of the sporting venues and facilities as a means to renew and reinvigorate areas of the city is a major point of focus and top priority for Tokyo Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games (TOCOG). In this respect, TOCOG sees the London Games 2012 as a huge success story and wants to “copy-paste” these concepts. This has already led to a close cooperation between the Cities London and Tokyo and both governments.
Members of the Olympic bid committee say their plan will make sure “journey times for athletes, officials, and all members of the Olympic family” are minimized, while “the experience of all those touched by the unique spirit of the Games” is maximized. Infrastructure efficiency will be improved and work will be done to get everyone in the city involved in the Games, but the plan is for these efforts to be conducted in a cost minimizing way.
