The Territorialisation of the Mega-Event

Each mega-event interacts with its host territory in a complex and differentiated manner as the spaces involved and the phases of the process vary, from the candidature to the preparation of the event to its implementation and the management of the material and immaterial legacy. What is meant by territorialisation, and in particular, what meaning does the term take on when referring to a mega-event? What theoretical references can be helpful to answer this question? We will follow the interpretation of territorialisation proposed by Raffestin, applying it to the analysis of mega-events, notably the Turin 2006.
