6. History - Olympic Park
This is located in the Lea Valley ( Stratford ). This area is a transport corridor, it was a site of a sand and gravel work, an industrial area, a water supply and a water sports venue and park. It has been developed as the sports complex for the London 2012 Olympic and Para Olympic Games

7. History
Conditions for Stratford residents in the 19th century were poor, with overcrowding, poverty and poor health.
The deprivation continued into the twentieth century, and unemployment reached record levels in the interwar years causing demonstrations and rioting. Many people were evacuated during the Second World War and the area was severely bombed.
In spite of massive rebuilding after the war, the economic decline continued with the closure of the docks!

So…. why Stratford
as a site for the 2012 Olympics?

14. On 6 July 2005, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced that London would host the 2012 Olympics. London won its bid on the back of three factors:
Its status as a global city
2. Its focus upon regenerating one of the poorest areas of the city, which is on-going, where the Olympics have a specific role to play in providing a legacy of amenities for local people
3. A focus upon children as the benefactors of the Olympics, and the inspiration that could link nations through sport
