Special report: public property

Barrie, G

Special report: public property - 2002 - Property Week 67(1) 11 January 2002, 44-50(6) .

A special report on the use of public property. Deals with the Greenwich Peninsula and the Dome site which has been bought by Quintain and the plans for the development of this site. Looks at the ways local authorities are managing their property assets by following private corporation behaviour after being told to manage their property assets more effectively. Quotes Newcastle City Council as an example. Finally considers the use of American-style business improvement districts (BIDs) to reverse the decline of town centres. Concludes that the future of BIDs so far is looking promising.
