'Reflections & Opportunities' is a new book that documents the social, economic and architectural implications of an event like the FIFA World Cup on an emerging economy such as South Africa

2009年，南非是一个名副其实的建筑工地，是一个狂热的国家联盟，为2010年世界杯做准备。在赢得主办权后的五年里，大量未开发的景观被重塑得难以辨认。

南非人在地理上和经济上都被这个国家的发展规模所吸引-尤其是当地的设计专家扎希拉·阿斯马尔(Zahira Asmal)，他的灵感来自南非的设计。这项研究计划分析了像举办世界杯这样的现象对新兴经济体的影响。

Asmal解释说，这本书最初是一个想法，后来演变成了一个专注于理解和分享世界杯和南非城市经验的组织。

这本书花了一段时间才得以实现，但终于到了。“反思”

书名暗示了本书的两部分：“反思”和“机遇”。前者以英国“金融时报”、“卫报”(The Guardian)、甚至“墙纸”(WallDaily)的主要记者为主题，后者的章节(由定期撰稿人大卫·考夫曼(David Kaufman)撰写)分析了2010年世界杯的经济、建筑“机遇”部分是由主要专家撰写的一系列引人注目的论文：城市中心主任Edgar Pieterse教授、当地建筑师Henning Rassmuss、卡佩顿体育管理讲师Brendan Knott和圣保罗学者Oliver Stuenkel。

斯图恩克尔的想法特别重要，因为我们即将迎来2014年，巴西是世界杯的东道主。为了期待这次活动，设计_南非成立了一个姐妹组织，设计__巴西。如果你翻阅你的“反思”
