Objective/context: The present research, of a historical nature, reconstructs the genesis and development of Urban Property in Havana between 1934 and 1960, representing a pillar for sustaining its autonomy and management. Originality: Historical studies on the city have not dealt with the subject, which has limited the understanding of the role of property and the property-owning class within social and urban history. Methodology: The results shown are approached from documentary analysis and are supported by primary sources of information. Conclusions: The study of the historical conditioning factors and the legal and financial factors articulated around Urban Property allows us to affirm that its existence left a legacy that deserves to be studied to understand part of the evolution of Havana in that period.
