Villagers Hope Olympics Will Bring Development

CHONGLI, CHINA - JANUARY 22: A Chinese man walks by a sign for the 2022 Olympics on January 22, 2016 in Chongli district, Hebei province, China. While Beijing is the host city of the 2022 Winter Olympics, several events will be staged in the Chongli district of Hebei province, over 100 miles from the Chinese capital. Locals are hopeful the Games will transform the largely rural area of basic housing and small farms as organizers pledge to spend at least $1.5 billion U.S. to build venues and other infrastructure. Critics worry that forced development will negatively impact the region and the environment, pointing to the rampant construction ordered in Beijing ahead of the 2008 Olympics. In winning the bid, Beijing becomes the first city to secure both a Winter and Summer Games. (Photo by Kevin Frayer/Getty Images)
