Developing a legacy for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic games

In 2032, the eyes of the world will be on Queensland, Australia, as Brisbane hosts the Olympics and Paralympic Games. Buro Happold has partnered with Urbis and Articulous to develop the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Legacy Strategy and Plan.

No strangers to the importance of the legacy of an Olympic Games, Buro Happold will be part of ensuring that long term social, economic and environmental benefits are delivered by the Brisbane games. Building on Australia’s legacy as hosts of previous Olympic, Paralympic and Commonwealth Games, and on the country’s sporting prowess, Brisbane 2032 is an opportunity to accelerate positive change across local communities, city, state and country.

A legacy plan shaped by Buro Happold, Urbis, Articulous and a panel of experts (including Dr Tim Williams from Grimshaw and Stephanie Rice, OAM) will harness the energy and momentum of the Olympic and Paralympic Games to celebrate the world’s oldest living culture, improve environmental outcomes, enhance sporting pathways and participation, focus on equity and inclusion, and shape an economy ignited by new industries and technologies.
