There is a close link between sports events and urban development. Hosting mega sports events like the 2011 Cricket World Cup led to urban redevelopment projects in Indian cities and a refurbishment of sporting infrastructure to attract tourists and investment. All of the World Cup venues, especially the cricket grounds and player facilities, received improvements bringing them up to international standards. This upgraded infrastructure has benefited game development in India and positioned the country to better host large sporting events in the future.

There is a close link between sports
and a countrys industrial development
and the general progress of society.
Industrialization and the general progress
of the society are closely related to
urbanization.
Urban development is the social,
cultural, economic and physical
development of cities.
Much pressure on cities is
naturally applied to conduct
mega events to attract mobile
and global capital.
Sports and games have a
significant role in the urban
development of the countries.
Cities and localities are
actively involved in initiatives
to refurbish and refine
national and local identities.
19. 2
Mega sports events in cities leads to
changes in the nature of planning
and urban development in a series
of large-scale urban redevelopment
projects.
Over the past 20 years, investment
in sporting infrastructure at national
level in cities was not primarily
aimed at getting the local
community involved in sport, but
was instead aimed at attracting
tourists, encouraging inward
investment and changing the image
of the cities.
Public supports have
turned to buildings
that generate urban
development. Sport
has the potential to
generate substantial
economic and social
returns to local
and regional
government
investment in the
sports industry.
Most of existing
theoretical explanations
for the new urbanism in
India focus on state
socialism, foreign
investment, and
industrialization. Though
international tourism and
mega-events have become
popular in India, few
studies focus on their
impacts on India cities.
20. 3
In the first decade of 21st Century, India
hosted different kinds of international
mega-events such as commonwealth
games 2010, WCC 2011, these mega-
events had impacts on transforming India
cities. For the conduct of the world cup,
all the venues especially the grounds,
the players practice and support facilities
were given a commendable facelift.
All the major grounds were re-
furbished to ICC standards. The
ground conditions were improved
to international standards and
would complement the bids for
hosting such mega events in
future. The game development
activities would be directly
benefited.
Infrastructure in India has
improved a lot. Now certain
grounds are used exclusively for
cricket. The infrastructure for the
WCC should magnitude the
Indias preparation. India need
not share with any other neighbor
in her border. But as a fraternity
India shared the responsibility
with Sri Lanka, Bangladesh.
India is self sufficient with good
grounds.
29. 12
4- To study the sport event
increases the rate of growth
of sport tourism.
5- To study the contribution
of the WCC 2011 in the
promotion of the sports in
India.
6- To study the effect of the
WCC 2011 on the economic
status of the host cities.
30. 13
The dependent variable is the urban development and the important
independent variables are aspects related to promotion of sports, sport
tourism, government policies, cricket infrastructure, spectators attracted and
economic status with overall forty one sub-variables.
31. 14
1- The government policies that
deal with sporting mega-events
would have significant effect on
facilitation of urbanization in India.
3- There would have
significant difference to
effect of the WCC 2011 on
the economic status of the
cities.
2- It is hypothesized that there
would be significant relationship
between sporting mega-events and
urban development in India on the
eleven selected sub-variables.
4- There would have
significant difference to
increase the rate of growth
of sport event due to the
sport tourism.
32. 15
Hosting the Game can never be said to be exclusively positive or negative. There
is a mixture of both in all cases. The thesis will emphasize on the most relevant
effects of the Game on host cities and its residents, and explore how these
impacts should be best assessed in the future. As the aim of this thesis is not
to list all potential impacts of the Game but to discuss sustainability
issues, we will concentrate on some of the more significant long-term effects.
33. 33

increased.
The Government emphasizes that the infrastructure construction promotes the city
image and bring more conveniences to the citizens; facilitation of citizens during events
should be more emphasized.

The 2011 WCC which held in India and neighbors is one of the most important sporting
events that held on the Asian continent. It promises to be a catalyst for future events of this
magnitude to be exploited by other Asian countries. Specially it provided India with the
opportunity to showcase its ability during commonwealth youth games 2008 and
commonwealth games 2010 to host major sporting and cultural events in a bid to attract
other mega-sports events like the WCC 2011 in India and the Olympic Games in future.
The communication and distribution of information are another crucial aspects of
creating awareness and informing the community where these events are taking place, not
only about the event itself, but more importantly about the progress and anticipated
disruptions that may likely to occur as a result of these events. 2011 organizers must
realize that an innovative approach towards event communications is required. All possible
mediums must be used to distribute information to the communities concerned in order to
ensure that residents are fully informed and also feel a part of the event. This will not only
promote a healthy relationship between the event organizers and the community but also
get support for any future events that may take place at these venues.
