Notes

Sydney was the first city to carry out a completely environmentally-aware project for its “Green Olympics”. Organisers fought at every level for reductions in energy and water consumption, waste management, recovery of urban wasteland, solar energy and recycling facilities amongst others. Sydney became a pioneer for actions and strategies which would be gradually imposed throughout the Olympic project
