Abstract

This monograph provides a general approach to the urban vacant titling process in Colombia, emphasizing the importance of guaranteeing property rights and promoting the regularization of land tenure. The intervention of key institutions is detailed, such as the Ministry of Housing, City and Territory, the National Land Agency, municipal mayors and the Agustín Geographic Institute, considered fundamental entities to promote the formalization of property. In addition, the current laws that regulate these processes are presented, providing a regulatory framework that supports and guides the titling of urban wastelands in the country. The titling of urban wastelands covers various aspects of a social, environmental and economic nature. Although the process is not characterized by its speed or simplicity, it demands determined political will and close collaboration between the institutions that play a fundamental role in promoting the regularization of land tenure. This joint effort has the primary objective of guaranteeing legal security and access to property for all citizens. We will focus on the specific case of the Municipality of Mapiripàn, Meta, detailing the titling processes of urban wastelands, in the specific period from 2020 to 2023, collaboration with the various intervening entities, commitment of the municipal Administration to the titling process, impact in the general community of the municipality and the impact generated on the beneficiary families, the difficulties that arise within the process will also be evident, taking into account each stage, and the actions that have been taken or are expected to be taken for future titling processes in the municipality.
