The Making of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park by John C Hopkins

This is the story of the making of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, created for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Situated in East London, the Olympic Park is recognized as one of the very first sustainable public parks of the 21st century.

provides the only authoritative and true account of how planners and designers built, landscaped and planted the greenest Games in history(Pro Landscaper, January 2013) This is a coffee table book with a difference-once picked up there is no desire to flick through and put it down more to leave the room and ask people not to disturb you all I can say is read it, love it and learn from it. This book makes me proud of us as a visionary, planning and working nation than the Olympics did as sporting one! (Building Engineer, March 2013)
