Olympics Could Help the City’s Growth Vision

If Los Angeles wins its 2028 Olympics bid, it could be helping the city’s growth vision. Los Angeles is already seeing tremendous migration—with some estimates forecasting as many as 10 million people could move to the greater L.A. area in the next decade—and it is fueling tremendous development activity. Greenland USA CEO Hu Gang says that the Olympics will only help bring more attention and growth to the city.

“With almost $800 billion GDP, L.A. is the third largest metropolitan economy in the world,” Gang tells GlobeSt.com. “We anticipate the impact of 2028 Olympics on LA will be less on the quantitative side than on the qualitative side—meaning that we think the Olympics will have a very positive impact on the structural upgrades on LA’s economy. For example, there will be great opportunities to promote tourism and convention industries in L.A., particularly Downtown L.A., which are perfectly aligned with the city’s vision.”
