abstract: Munich’s 1972 Olympic grounds provide a stellar example of a mega-event and urbanism coming together. The area has become an essential part of the city’s urban fabric; a site for leisure, attractive housing and business. Seven semi-structured interviews are conducted with citizens and experts to gain insight into the legacies of the area. Though the literature on mega-events is growing, it is still limited, and this exploratory research might contribute to understanding the conditions that give rise to legacies that resonate with local populations. This research indicates that the long-term vision of the mega-event as a tool, stakeholder designation and planning conditions of the day are three critical factors that gave rise to the current conditions and create the local legacy. As seen in today’s Munich, the area retains its considerable social legacy, most clearly manifested in the physical spaces being conducive to social exchange, as well as the international ambience of the space.
