Preparing for the Games

Since winning a victory in the application, there have been many works to ensure that the Olympics were spectacular sports competitions, as well as become a social and cultural event.

Committees and Organizations

Despite the fact that many companies are contributing to the Games, the key organization responsible for ensuring the success of the Games and the timeliness of all the activities are:

The London Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games (LOCOG) provides for the planning and development of the course of events during the Games. Chairman of the Committee is Lord Coe, Chairman of the Olympic Games 2012 in London. Committee for the Olympic Games (ODA) is responsible for providing facilities and necessary infrastructure for the Games.

The State Executive Committee of the Olympic Games manages the Games and is under the Ministry of Culture, Media and Sport (Foster, Peter, 2011, p. 8-9).

Funding

Estimated total cost of the Games is more than 9 billion pounds sterling. Arrangements for the Olympic facilities and ensure the proper state of infrastructure will be mainly financed from the budget tax revenue. Games themselves will be funded through sponsorship from the private sector and other income (Foster, Peter, 2011, p. 8-9).

Olympic facilities

Currently in London is working on creating a new image for the Games. The combination of new, old, historic and temporary buildings will be provided as Olympic facilities. Greater London will be divided into three zones:

Olympic Zone - The Olympic Park will be divided in Stratford, East London, on waste land and industrial land. The park will include an Olympic stadium, aquatic center events.

Olympic Village - River area - consisting of five main parts of the River Thames, including the O2 and ExCel Arenu expo center.

A number of other sporting events will take place outside London such as rowing and sailing. They will be held in Weymouth, Dorset on the south coast of England (Foster, Peter, 2011, p. 8-9).

Transport

London's public transport network is already quite advanced, and however much is done to ensure that people can get to places on time and with a certain level of amenities. London public transport infrastructure will also be strengthened by the expansion of the eastern line of the London Underground. There is also improved by the state railway Docklands Light Railway (DLR). There are plans for a high-speed train service, shuttles - the Olympic Javelin - which will carry passengers from the station of St Pancras International (which houses EuroStar) to the Olympic Park. Several parking lots will be available at the stations for transfers for public transport (low exhaust) along the zone of M25 (the Ring highway the Greater London). Key partners to develop the transport infrastructure are "Transport for London" , the Ministry of Transport and the Highways Agency (Foster, Peter, 2011, p. 8-9).
