Project Proposal
The 2002 World Cup was jointly hosted by Japan and Korea. As apart of my project, I would like to look to research some of the economic implications, such as the effects of building the new stadiums in the area, possible increased tourism, and increased foreign investment. There is often criticisms because of some of the negative externalities when holding these massive sporting events (World Cups, Olympics, etc.) in lesser developed countries. I am curious to what the affects where in Japan and Korea. Positive? I’m curious to what the research points to now that a few years have taken place. I will add this information to the 2002 World Cup page— while it is a robust page, there isn’t information on this topic included.

Project Ideas
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Stadium_(Yokohama)
The 2002 World Cup was hosted jointly by both Japan and Korea. It was generally seen as a huge success and increased good will each country had for each other. The final was in Nissan Stadium. It is a decently covered topic, but having done a tour of the facility myself I know there is a lot of information that can be added to the page.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon
Surprisingly, there is no mention of the Pokémon store in Yokohama or of the Pikachu parade on the Pokemon page. Maybe I can add a few details in that regard..?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamanote_Line
There I could add some info about how there are unique jingles at each station along the Yamanote line. As well as the history of that..?
