Hosting of mega-events such as the Olympic Games tends to be accompanied by
voluminous media coverage on the negative social impact of the Games, and the people in
the affected areas are often considered to be one victim group sharing similar experiences.
The research in this paper tries to unpack the heterogeneous groups in a particular sector of
the housing market, and gain a better understanding of how the Olympic Games affects
different resident groups. We take the example of the Beijing Summer Olympic Games and
resort to empirical findings in an attempt to critically examine the experience of migrant
tenants and Beijing citizens (landlords in particular) in ‘villages-in-the-city’ (known as
cheongzhongcun) by delivering their own first-hand accounts of city-wide preparation for
the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympiad and the pervasive demolition threats to their
neighbourhoods. The paper argues that the Beijing Summer Olympiad produced uneven,
often exclusionary, Games experiences for a certain segment of urban population.
