ispublished: pub
full_text_status: public
abstract: This paper aims to describe the impacts of hosting a mega event on the urban development of a city. The paper describes events under the denominator mega events to get a grasp of what a mega event is and defining the mega event within the context of this study. In the selection of mega events four prerequisites were determined, the events are focussed on tourism and leisure, are short-term with a long-term impact, have high initial costs and consist of a bidding process. The statistical analysis consisted out of 10 regression analyses to determine whether hosting an event has an impact on urban development. The study concludes that hosting an event does not have a significant impact on the urban development of a city. There is no real impact either positive or negative on urban development based on the selected variables when hosting an event.
