10 years on from London 2012 what is the lasting and positive legacy on the 2012 London games - Infrastructure, leisure and sport, expertise, sustainability? How can other cities learn from this? Has the movement changed during the upheavals of the last 2 years? Each panelist will say a few words about what they feel has been significant and, perhaps, where the impact was less than hoped, before opening up to audience discussion.
