This paper proposes the London Olympics 2012 as a clear example of Stephen Graham’s military urbanism in action. Using the structure of a visual essay with an accompanying introductory text, this paper argues that the visibility of the security structures at the Olympics functioned as a stage-set of securitization. The importance of the image in terrorism/counter-terrorism is set against the backdrop of the 7/7 bombings as a way to establish the context of the London Olympics as a moment when the city was transformed into a landscape of hyper-security and to document the segregated city this produced. A photographic methodology is proposed as a way to document, analyse and critique these security structures in action.

强化城市：可视化伦敦 2012

本文将 2012 年伦敦奥运会作为斯蒂芬格雷厄姆军事城市主义行动的一个明显例子。使用带有随附介绍性文本的视觉文章的结构，本文认为奥运会安全结构的可见性起到了证券化阶段的作用。形象在恐怖主义/反恐中的重要性是在 7/7 爆炸事件的背景下设定的，作为一种将伦敦奥运会作为城市转变为高度安全景观的时刻的背景的一种方式，并记录由此产生的隔离城市。提出了一种摄影方法，作为记录、分析和批评这些正在运行的安全结构的一种方式。
