Expropriation of land is considered a crucial instrument of any development practice. The legitimacy of expropriation is essentially reinforced as it is employed for the public interest, often implied as infrastructure and public services. While in the private property on one side and the public interest on the other, urban development acts to be the art of getting the right balance. Despite urban development paradigms significantly affecting expropriation practices, most reviewed literature focused on legal aspects of expropriation. However, few were attentive to addressing the relation between expropriation and the urban universe. What are the current trends of the expropriation function and how extensively is it used for urban development? It can be elaborated as the study’s core question, while the research aims at mapping the development of the expropriation function and how extensively expropriation is used across time and space. Therefore, the study adopts a qualitative comparative approach to explore the global trends of expropriation for urban development and map convergence and deviations. The proposed criteria for comparison aim to discover how extensively expropriation is used, the legal changes and the institutional contexts. In addition, the applied part of the study uses a case study analysis method. A chronological timeline analysis of the Egyptian case was conducted to explore the nature of expropriation practices of Nasser’s time (1956–1970) to Mubarak’s time (1981–2011) in Egypt.Globally, expropriation practices have a heterogeneous nature. Certain features, however, are common enough to justify classifying practices for this study. The research comes up with a schematic mapping intending not to be comprehensive but flexible enough to be applied as a framework to analyse and compare other cases in different contexts. Finally, the research concludes by comparing and positioning the Egyptian case in the light of the global trends and provides principal lessons to planners, governmental parties, and policy-makers.

El artículo presenta el diseño metodológico y los resultados centrales de un estudio cuyo objetivo fue analizar el grado de congruencia existente entre la formación académica y la práctica profesional de los planificadores urbanos y regionales en México. Para la recolección de los datos se empleó una metodología mixta que combinó un análisis cualitativo de los contenidos de los planes de estudio de varios posgrados, con la aplicación de una encuesta a profesionales de la planeación. Los resultados muestran que los posgrados en planeación incorporan cada vez más temas relacionados con el paradigma de la planeación colaborativa; sin embargo, en el campo profesional se valoran más los saberes, las habilidades y las destrezas (SHD) relacionados con la planeación racional y con el espacio euclidiano. El artículo cierra con algunas reflexiones y recomendaciones para mejorar los planes y programas de estudio utilizados en la formación de profesionales de la planeación.
