Resource information
The report is addressed to two
audiences: the World Bank team and the decision makers and
technical experts at the city administration who define the
future of land and asset management in Warsaw. The report
starts (section two) from reviewing municipal property
holdings and associated institutional arrangements. This
section focuses primarily on land and financial aspects of
asset management, due to the overall orientation of the
report and its limited scope. Portfolios of built-up
properties are considered only partly, mainly for indicating
the grand magnitude of the total holdings. For the same
reason, the institutional arrangements are analyzed only at
the level that identify main issues, but not details.
Section three reviews main achievements, challenges, and
risks related to municipal land and asset management in
Warsaw. Section four considers the experiences of Warsaw
with public-private partnerships (PPPs) in the past and on
city's plans. This section also includes a discussion
of a PPP potential related to such transportation facilities
as Park and Ride (P&R), illustrated by mini case studies
of five P&R facilities funded and delivered by the city
itself. Finally, section five presents a range of
recommendations on what is needed for introducing a more
strategic approach to asset management and outlines next steps.
