1. Parallel Linkages (Hiller, 1998) - Side-effects of a mega-event which are not necessarily anticipated. 2. Examples of comparable housing developments in Toronto a) City Place (20 towers, 7,500 units) b) Regent Park (5,115 units, 12,500 residents) c) Pan-Am Games Village (4,000 residents) 3. COHRE Report Most in-depth analysis on impact of Olympics on communities 4. Official Olympic Games Reports Published shortly after Games and fail to address long-term sustainability of Villages nor impacts on surrounding communities. Tend to be biased. 5. Other Reports Miss the impact on surrounding neighbourhoods except to suggest real-estate prices have risen. No socioeconomic or built-form references.

Background Discussion

Quantitative
1. Statistics Canada/Australian Bureau of Statistics data, which will be layered using the ArcGIS programs. 2. SPSS to determine to co-relation of indicators 2. Benefit: Data already codified

Qualitative
1. Utilize current and archival land-use maps to identify change in built-form through image overlay. 2. Photography as a Research Method (ATLAS.ti) 3. On-site observation

3. Sample Indicators: a) Population change/ 4. Two focus groups in each case study city. Immigration/Migration Approx. 8-10 persons in each. Advertisements b) Households c) Labour will be circulated through neighbourhood and force d) Travel every effort will be made to include as *Like ward profiles in Toronto diverse a population group as possible.

1. Ethics As people are being interviewing for focus groups, and ethics application will be necessary. Not necessary for statistical data, built-form, nor personal observation. Participants will sign a release form. 2. Issues 1. Manual statistical geo-coding with Montreal data 2. Will not be able to provide full detail of change in Vancouver neighbourhoods due to the small lapse of time between research time and the end of the Games. 3. Variation issues with ArcGIS
