Montreal might be an interesting turning point because the entire project had delays and massive cost overruns.
And visually, the planned tower was only partially built. "It was found that the tower could not be completed as planned in concrete without major structural work because it would be too heavy and that the tower would be overstressed by the Canadian standard. The tower was completed in steel and was damaged by a fire during construction."

So, what if things started changing, so that the countries which energetically bid for and won the Olympics actually made some money out of them?
