Abstract
Purpose
This article aims to present an overview of the main issues related to public real estate management in Italian local governments and to define a reliable approach for the employment of real estate properties during the time.
Design/methodology/approach
The research defines a theoretical framework that takes under consideration the “key variables” that affect the strategic management of a real estate asset portfolio. The suggested approach may help public managers in the decision‐making process, enhancing the performance of the organization and the accountability in favor of the stakeholders.
Findings
The results demonstrate that there are still several omissions in the management of these assets and that strategies adopted have not been centered on a preliminary analysis of the financial, economic and social fallouts in the mid‐long term, mainly answering to short‐term political needs and budgetary constraints. Unlike experiences developed in other European countries, in Italy the main answer was the divestment of real estate assets, assumed as a “first best solution”.
Practical implications
The article suggests a systemic and multidimensional approach for the management of a real estate portfolio and aims at developing a depth of knowledge in a field such as public property management, which can still be considered essentially unexplored by Italian literature.
Originality/value
The paper emphasizes the strategic relevance of the subject for politicians, managers, technicians and researchers involved in the management of a real estate portfolio.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to outline the development of public sector real estate asset management in the UK from the 1980s to the present day.
Design/methodology/approach
The paper is a narrative based upon a chronology of a selection of the reports, studies and research of the subject by academics, audit bodies, consultants, government departments, eminent business people and economists. The principal findings of the referenced reports/research are drawn out and highlighted. It should be noted that the extensive reference schedule is arranged in date order and not in the usual alphabetic sequence.
Findings
The analysis shows cycles of asset management focus across the public sector over the 30 years of the narrative. The attention of government changes, often reflecting straitened economic times, from influencing local authority asset management to highlighting the better use of the assets used by its departments. A strategy to involve private sector‐generated solutions to improve efficiency and generate cash is currently under development.
Research limitations/implications
This is a narrative paper. In‐depth research of the referenced reports would produce valuable insights to inform future strategies.
Originality/value
Strategists should be aware that some asset management issues identified in the 1980s remain unsolved and are still evident today.
