Olympic Stadiums That Now Serve Completely Different Purposes

12. Turin’s Olympic Village (2006) – Now Low-Income Housing

Original Purpose: Housed athletes during the 2006 Winter Olympics. New Purpose: Converted into low-income housing.Turin took a socially conscious approach to its Olympic legacy by converting the 2006 Olympic Village into affordable housing for low-income families and migrants. Rather than letting the apartments sit empty after the Games, the city transformed them into permanent residences, helping address Turin’s housing crisis. Today, these former athlete accommodations offer safe and affordable homes to those who need them most, proving that Olympic investments can benefit everyday citizens long after the competitions end.
