Mega events are facing a disruption, despite their adaptative nature, in their continued 120-year growth in a context of environmental and energy crisis doubled by increased ethical and social expectations. We put forward the hypothesis, in the middle term, of a gradual disconnection between (1) mega events such as the Olympic Games and (2) a catalyst effect on urban regeneration and attractivity pursued by host cities; and over the long term, we explore a return to the past characterized by more modest and 'sustainable' Games. We first unveil how urban planning was implemented through the Olympic Games over the last 30 years to understand how Olympic urban mega projects have been increasingly questioned as risky and unsustainable and how IOC frameworks gradually adapted to articulate sustainability and legacy. Is it a return to the comparatively modest 1900, 1908, and 1924 and 1948 Olympics exemplified by the new quarters built after the failed 1992, 2008 and 2012 Paris bids? How do historiography and narratives compare Paris and London? Last, we analyse Paris 2024 as an example of disconnection between the Olympics and mega urban project, as included in an existing 30-year metropolitan project focusing limited new infrastructure on local needs.

This article analyses the activity of the Ford Foundation (FF) in the field of regional and urban planning in the Southern Cone countries of Latin America in the 1960s. During a period in which Urban Studies expanded, the FF developed activities, projects and programmes that simultaneously consolidated discussions on urban processes and their future actions both in the United States and in the developing world. The FF's took actions on a global scale, and Argentina and Chile were part of a broader strategy. From 1959, after the Cuban revolution, the Foundation's philanthropic activity expanded in Latin America, especially in the field of social sciences. The Instituto de Planeamiento Regional y Urbano (Litoral Institute for Regional and Urban Planning, IPRUL) in Argentina and the Comité Interdisciplinario de Desarrollo Urbano (Interdisciplinary Committee on Urban Development, CIDU) in Chile were exponents of this sort of FF-sponsored approach thanks to their technical and financial assistance. A comparative analysis of activities undertaken by the institutions in question reveals a number of interconnections between the realms of philanthropy, planning, political authority and networks of academic experts.

Over the last three decades, in France as in other European countries, urban projects have given increasing importance to negotiations between public and private players, and to iterative and incremental design processes. Among the tools implemented by architects and other professionals in France, the plan-guide has progressively challenged the master plan as uncertainty about the means and the ends of projects grew. To understand the rationale of the plan-guide, it is useful to look at the way it was first deployed as the main working tool of Île de Nantes urban renewal project in the early 2000s. That case study sheds light on how urban projects relying on plan-guides became instrumental within neoliberal agendas.
