That's a requirement of the IOC's new agenda. No new venues built for the Olympics except those that are already planned, required, and funded separately from the Olympics.
The Stockholm and Milan bids aren't any different. The Italian bid will reuse facilities from the 1956 Olympics. The Swedish bid will make use of the Olympic Stadium that was built for the 1912 Summer Games.
