Resumo
Employing a grounded theory approach, this study conducts interviews with 30 scholars and government officials actively involved in extensive study and practical endeavors within the domains of Sport City and sports events. The inquiry aims to elucidate the factors driving the promotion of the construction of Sport City facilitated by hosting major sports events. The results indicate that major sports events demonstrate a 'cumulative effect' in fostering the construction of Sport City. Influential factors encompass the function of Sport City, the economy of Sport City, the resident well-being of Sport City, and the soft power of Sport City. Furthermore, the promotional influence of hosting major sports events on one facet of Sport City positively impacts the development of other facets.
