Abstract: Abstract This essay reflects on alternative urban markets and property right systems in some Latin American countries. What becomes clear is that one size does not fit all: land markets and property rights are multifaceted and their conception and implementation should be context‐sensitive. In recent experiments and proposals in Brazil, El Salvador and Venezuela, among other countries, they are being used as instruments for the expansion of rights to the city and the construction of the just city. Résumé Ce texte s'intéresse aux formes alternatives de marchés urbains et de systèmes de droits de propriété dans certains pays d'Amérique latine. Il devient évident qu'un même modèle ne convient pas à tous: marchés fonciers et droits de propriété comportent de nombreux aspects, et il vaut mieux adapter au contexte leur élaboration et mise en oeuvre. Dans de récentes expériences et propositions au Brésil, au Salvador et au Venezuela (pour ne citer que ces pays), ils servent d'instruments pour étendre les droits en faveur de la ville et pour construire une ville juste.
