Greece, Athens on 2023-01-24. On the site of the former Elliniko international airport, the Helliniko Olympic complex was built especially for the 2004 Games. The site quickly fell into disrepair and disrepair. What was left of the complex is now being used to build a huge 'Smart City' called The Ellinikon. For the moment, the site is nothing more than cranes and lorries, but to attract investors and future residents, a flamboyant exhibition centre has been set up to showcase the project. Not being fooled by the controversy surrounding the future of the 2004 Olympic sites, the heritage of the Games and the place of sport are at the heart of their communications.

Sur le site de l’ancien aeroport international d’Elliniko fut construit specialement pour les Jeux de 2004 le complexe olympique d’Helliniko. Le site tomba tres rapidement à l’abandon et se delabra. Ainsi, ce qui restait du complexe est desormais le lieu de construction d’une immense « Smart City » intitulee The Ellinikon. Pour le moment, le chantier n’est que grues et camion mais, pour attirer investisseurs et futurs habitants, un centre d’exposition flamboyant a ete mis sur pied pour presenter le projet. N’etant pas dupe sur la polémique que suscite le devenir des sites olympiques de 2004, l’heritage des jeux et la place du sport sont au centre de leur communication.
