Three
concepts have been adopted for the Beijing Olympic Games, namely,
the Green Olympics, the High-tech Olympics and the People's Olympics.
Green Olympics - Environmental protection is a key prerequisite for
designing and constructing the Olympic Games' facilities, while strict
ecological standards and systematic guarantee systems will be established.
Environmentally friendly technologies and measures will be widely
applied in environmental treatment to structures and venues. Urban
and rural afforestation and environmental protection will be widely
enhanced in an all-round manner. Environmental awareness will be promoted
among the general public, with citizens greatly encouraged to make
"green" consumption choices and urged to actively participate
in various environmental improvement activities to help better the
capital's ecological standards and build a city better fit for all
to enjoy.
High-tech Olympics - A grand sporting event featuring high technology
will be held by incorporating the latest domestic and international
scientific and technological achievements. Beijing will upgrade its
scientific innovative capabilities, boosting the industrialization
of high-tech achievements and popularizing their use in daily life.
The Beijing Olympic Games is to serve as a window to showcase the
city's high-tech achievements and its innovative strength.
People's Olympics - The Beijing Olympic Games will be an occasion
to spread modern Olympic ideas, while displaying splendid Chinese
culture, Beijing's historical and cultural heritage, and its residents'
positive attitudes. It will also be an opportunity to advance cultural
exchanges, to deepen understanding and friendship between the peoples
of the world, and to promote harmonious development between mankind
and nature. It will be a time to promote healthy interaction between
individuals and society and to foster mental and physical health.
In line with the "people-oriented" and "athletes-centered"
ideas, Beijing will spare no efforts to provide quality services and
to build a natural and social environment that will satisfy all the
Games' participants.
