Reajuste de derechos de propiedad del suelo urbano en las ciudades de Japón y de Colombia

The instruments of the Urban Reform have been conceived to discipline the operation of the real estate markets. This work deals with on one these instruments, the Land Readjustment. In the first part they are outlined, of way succinct, some social and territorial characteristics of the formation of Japan and Colombia in relation to the property and the use of the urban land. In second we displayed three experiences in the use of the readjustment land, beginning by the one of the restoration postwar period of Nagoya to be, according to ours to seem, most emblematic and original of the manifold that can be found in Japan. The other two correspond to the reconstruction process post-earthquake of the city of Armenia in Colombia: one of them failed and another successful one.
