Riassunto:Given the vulnerability of urban populations exposed to natural threats, Colombian city councils must find solutions through resettlement processes, so that vulnerable communities, from a physical-natural perspective, can acquire new or “used” land in a safe place. By analyzing projects developed up to now, there is a wrong and biased institutional idea of vulnerability, leading to resettlement policies that do not take the whole concept of habitat into consideration, nor are they oriented towards the improvement quality of life of dwellers. Therefore, this article puts forward a reflection on the critical concepts of this kind of processes before presenting and analyzing resettlement experiences that are taking place in Manizales, Colombia.
