Public property

Public property refers to assets and resources owned by the government or community for use by everyone. Examples include parks, roads, schools, libraries, and government buildings. These resources are maintained at public expense and are intended to serve the collective needs of society, ensuring access and benefit for all citizens. Public property is different from private property, which is owned by individuals or organizations and used privately. Managing public property involves balancing community needs with sustainable use, ensuring that it remains available and in good condition for current and future generations.
