ABSTRACT
The first volume of the Handbook of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games has endeav-oured to capture the key players and processes involved in making the 2012 London Olympic and Paralympic Games from inception to its staging. To that end, 21 contributions have ana-lysed various aspects of London 2012 under three broad headings, including bidding, delivering and engaging with the Games. This concluding chapter provides a summary of the main lessons learned so far and outlines the issues to be addressed in the second volume of the collection.
