Eco Factor: Olympic stadium powered by renewable energy.

The bid also includes the renovation of several existing sporting facilities that will reduce demand for new materials and new structures that can have a negative effect on the ecosystem. Apart from providing green power, the stadium will also be offering the most compact games plan in history, with 97% of venues within an 8km radius of the Olympic Stadium and Olympic village located in the center of Tokyo.
