With the Milano\u2013Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics<\/a> underway, it is worth looking back at how the Olympic Village<\/a> has evolved from a purely functional solution into a strategic urban project. From improvised housing compounds to key pieces of urban regeneration<\/a>, Olympic Villages have repeatedly functioned as large-scale experiments in how parts of the city can be built within a short period of time. <\/p>\n

Designed under intense time pressure and for a highly specific population, these environments reveal shifting ideas about housing, collective life, and the urban legacy of mega-events. Across different editions, the Olympic Village reflects broader ways in which events, housing, and cities intersect under conditions of urgency.<\/p>\n
