| description | This article explores the Mediterranean Games as non-mega sporting events
(NMSE), with a focus on their impact on urban development of host cities, in
this case the city of Oran. It examines how the city leveraged the event for
infrastructure, tourism and local economic growth. The initial hypothesis
suggests that the Games acted as a catalyst for significant investments that
promoted sustainable urban development. Through an exploratory analysis,
the study investigates socio-spatial and territorial impact from the
bid-ding phase to the post-event period. Findings reveal that, while not
comparable in scale to the Olympics, the Mediterranean Games significantly
influenced Oran’s urban and social development, generating major urban
projects and encouraging international cooperation and cultural exchange
among participating nations. |
