Chapter 1
Introduction

This book examines the development of property management in terms of the corporate strategies and financial instruments made use of to appraise the land and buildings making up the urban environment. The examination takes place under the following headings:

• Introduction
• Property Management
• Corporate Strategies
• Financial Instruments
• Computer-based Information Systems, Property Management and the Appraisal of the Urban Environment
• Sustainable Urban Development: the Framework and Directory of Environmental Assessment Methods
• Valuation, Investment Appraisal, Discounting, Obsolescence and Depreciation: their Impact on the Urban Environment
• Evaluating the Development of Sustainable Communities
• Conclusions

The chapters

The chapter on property management begins by outlining the issues underlying the development of property management. Under the heading of: value for money, economy, efficiency and effectiveness, attention is drawn to corporate strategies and financial instruments of property management. From here the text examines the corporate strategies developed to improve the standards of property management. The book then goes on to examine the financial instruments that have also been developed to bring about better standards of property management.

Having set out the corporate strategies and financial instruments of property management, the examination goes on to focus on one of the most pressing issues facing property management. Under the heading of 'computer-based information systems, property management and the appraisal of the urban environment', attention is drawn to how the said corporate strategies and financial instruments provide the capital accounting systems, asset registers and valuation methodologies needed to undertake a comprehensive appraisal of the land and buildings making up the urban environment. This examination shows that while a great deal of information is currently available on the various initiatives underlying the development of property management, there is still a noticeable absence of any data on either the corporate strategies, financial instruments, or computer-based information systems forming the mainstay of the capital accounting systems, asset registers and valuation methodologies under consideration.

The text

The text aims to close the gap that currently exists in what is understood about the development of property management, by providing academics, middle managers, directors and chief executives with the information required to not only manage property as a corporate resource, but make sure the strategies which are made use of for such purposes are financially sound. Developing this theme, the text goes on to examine the contribution capital accounting systems, asset registers and valuation methodologies make to sustainable urban development (SUD). Here the text provides a framework for analysing SUD and a directory of the environmental assessment methods currently available to appraise land and buildings. Examining the assessment methods under the heading of 'valuation and investment appraisal', the text goes on to study the impact discounting; obsolescence and depreciation have on the urban environment. This study is then drawn upon to show how the discounting mechanism is being used to develop sustainable communities. Following this conclusions are drawn and a research agenda is advanced.

The research projects

The examination draws upon a number of research projects the author has been engaged on over the past five years and is targeted at 'property managers' responsible for developing the corporate strategies and financial instruments (capital accounting systems, asset registers and valuation methodologies) needed to provide a comprehensive appraisal of the land and buildings making up the urban environment. The research projects in question include the following:

• The development of property management
• Financial services for the development of property management
• Sustainable urban development

The findings of these research projects have been published elsewhere (see Deakin, 1996; 1997a, b; 1998a; 1999a; Deakin 2000a, b, 2002a; Deakin and Curwell, 2002). The object of this book is to bring the body of work carried out to examine the development of property management together under one title. This is done under the heading of property management and qualified in terms of the corporate strategies and financial instruments underlying the developments in question. Taking a multi-disciplinary approach to the development, the publication brings together two disciplines (property management and environmental science) which have previously remained separate fields of study.

The first five chapters focus attention on the development of property management. Here attention is drawn to the corporate strategies, financial instruments and computer-based information systems underlying the development of property management. However, it is also here - with the development of computer-based information systems - that the common ground underlying the development begins to emerge. This emerges with the corporate strategies and financial instruments needed to provide a comprehensive appraisal of the land and buildings making up the urban environment. The common ground between property management and environmental science develops further in . Here attention is drawn to the contribution the financial instruments of capital accounting systems, asset registers and valuation methodologies make to SUD.
