City of 2016



The Chicago bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics is the attempt by the city of Chicago and the United States If Chicago is chosen, the games would be held from July 22 to August 7, with the Paralympics held between August 12 and August 28.


I have been Chicago and I know the position of the city. Whenever I think about the 2016 games I always question myself "from where all this money will come from to the city, what will the authorities will do to promote this life time event? I will answer myself yeah they will impose more taxes on the citizen of the city to make more revenue. Probably it may be case for the all the cities, who are running for this bid. But anyhow one of them have to host this event. so lets look at some more details about these cities comparing each one of them. Chicago has space to build new places but no money.
The Tokyo 2016 Olympic Bid is the attempt by Tokyo, the capital of Japan. The city previously held the 1964 Summer Olympics. If Tokyo wins the bid, the games will be held July 29 to August 14, and the Paralympics will be held August 31 to September 11.

Tokyo could suffer from the fact that Beijing hosted the Games in 2008, although it would by no means be the first time the Olympics have been staged on the same continent within eight years.

The Madrid 2016 Olympic bid is an attempt by Madrid, the capital city of Spain, to host the Olympic Games in 2016. . If Madrid is chosen, the Games will be held between August 5 and August 21, with the Paralympics being held between September 9 and September 20.
Madrid hope to build on their 2012 bid which, though ultimately unsuccessful, prompted a good reaction from the IOC - it was overall second in technical evaluation, while the city was ranked top in seven categories; "Government support, legal issues and public opinion", "General infrastructure", "Environment", "Sports venues", "Olympic Village", "Transport concept" and "Overall project and legacy".
The greatest downfall of Madrid's bid, though, could be that the 2012 summer Games is scheduled in London and the 2014 winter Games due to take place in Sochi, Russia. Staging three consecutive Olympic Games in Europe would, on the face of it, appear unlikely. The city's successful staging of the 2002 Football World Cup, 1964 Summer Olympics and 1972 and 1998 Winter Olympics mark it out as arguably the most experienced player in the last four, while it will also boast excellent public transportation, including three ring roads which are currently being built around the city to help reduce congestion problems, and ample accommodation for visitors.

The Rio de Janeiro bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics and Paralympics was recognised by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on September 14, 2007. This is the first time that the city has proceeded to the Candidature phase after four failed attempts in 1936, 1940, 2004 and 2012. The proposed dates range from August 5 to 21 for the Olympic Games, and September 7 (Independence Day of Brazil) to 18 for the Summer Paralympics.
This city has got the highest ratings for the government support, legal issues and public opinion government has alloted $240 billion of funds to the event. as this city is hosting the 2014 world cup football event, they dont have to work too hard to improve there infrastructure.
