The Management of the Post-Olympic Legacy in Turin

This contribution illustrates the sustainability assessment process of the Turin 2006 Olympic Program, with particular reference to the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) procedure, developed in the ex-ante, in-itinere and ex-post phases. The work focuses on the specificity of the Turin Games, one of the first editions in which the International Olympic Committee (IOC) experimented with environmental assessment procedures for projects. Finally, the chapter focuses on analysing the Olympic legacy of Turin 2006, examining its potential and critical issues from a sustainability perspective at the urban and territorial scale.
