Seventy-five shantytowns sites of 0.5 hectares and over located in and around the inner-area of Mexico City and selected for eradication in the early 1970s were revisited in 1982. Arguments that sites such as these became prime targets for redevelopment so that land could be freed for more commercial uses were not confirmed. The large majority of sites remain in residential land use and many have improved their physical fabric. Redevelopment, where it occurred, was usually instigated by public sector agencies and not by private commercial agents
