The paper concentrates on the concept of sustainable development in the organization of London Olympic games, looking at the three-dimensional nature of sustainability: economic, social and environmental. The study examines the sustainability indicators for the next Olympic Games, verifying the accuracy of their implementation, and arguing that sustainability is related to the protection and recovery of the environment. The interconnection of economic and social goals is central to the paper, as is the issue of the intention by the organisers to create lasting social regeneration following the 2012 event. Attendance figures from other Olympic events are considered, creating a comparison with the economic and environmental impact of the London games.
