major and mega events

Movement Strategies is perhaps the leading crowd movement consultant for Mega Events.

Mega Events such as the Olympic or Asian Games, or Football or Rugby World Cups, are hugely complex and extend beyond the event location - taking in airports, rail stations, stadia, fan parks, and more.

The safety, security and ease of access of spectators underpins the visitor experience, and in turn a great visitor experience underpins the perceived success of the Event. It was a feature of the Barcelona and Sydney Olympics and the World Cup in Germany, and enhanced the reputation of the host cities and countries. For annual events the visitor experience is fundamental to ongoing commercial success.

Movement Strategies has helped plan, design and operate some of the world's largest events. Our services have helped to:

• Develop the masterplan
• Design venues and the way they operate
• Size temporary vs. permanent legacy elements for venues and infrastructure
• Design event overlay
• Design security overlay, including security screening areas
• Reduce infrastructure costs significantly
• Develop event day operations plans for metros, rail hubs and other transport
• Simulate crowd movement to show how the event and venues work in advance
• Gain planning approval for masterplans, venues and infrastructure
• Increase licensed capacity
• Improve crowd safety
• Enhance emergency procedures
• Improve wayfinding and signage
• Plan Games Family and VIP movement

We can help at any stage of the event from the bid and planning phases where many of the fundamentals of the event (e.g., event capacities, the masterplan, transport plan etc.) are decided, through design, building control & licensing, and then to operations planning.
