摘要

Perhaps the only challenge greater than hosting the Olympic Games is the task of practically making use of its expansive infrastructure remains upon the 16-day event's conclusion.A monumental task in every sense of the word, it is one that all Olympic cities struggle with to some extent or another, but often to varying ends.
