until Tokyo Olympics

Jul 28, 2014

Hosting a worldwide event is...

Although the World Cup Brazil has finished, Brazil remains to have problems they should solve.

Before the World Cup started, Brazil had have some problems in that regards. In fact, there were many anti-World Cup demonstrations and even riots.

Many people lost their place to live because the rent soared due to the World Cup and they ended up not being able to pay it anymore. They live in tents just right beside the World Cup venues.
The Brazil government must do something for them as soon as possible.

When Tokyo held the Olympics in 1964, I guess there might have been the similar situation. Although people in Tokyo might be excited, many people in country side had still suffered from post-war poverty.

Hosting a worldwide event can lead to big economic effect. In fact, the Tokyo Olympics in 1964 boosted the Japan's rapid economic growth. However, always just a few people receive its benefit.

Countries or cities have to consider what they use money for. For event? for their people?
I guess Brazil might still have been in the phase which they should have use money for their people.
The Rio Olympics is in 2 years. I wonder if it is going to be OK?
