AB  - The public sector utilises approximately 20 per cent of the total
floor space in Sweden. Half this space is owned by the municipalities
and is used for schools, child care, geriatric care, etc. The cost of
properties in municipal budgets is rising at the same time as there is a
backlog of maintenance and the utilisation of premises is low. A number
of measures aimed at making the management of premises in the public
sector more efficient and effective are described. The problems are not
only technical and economic in nature but also, above all,
organisational and political: how to create the dynamics of and
incentives for economising on property resources, and how to choose
between the cost of welfare production and the quality of premises?
