expropriation
Expropriation is the action by which a government or authority takes or assumes ownership of private property for public use, often with compensation to the original owner, but sometimes without. This could involve property, land, assets, rights, or any other forms of private property. The process is usually carried out for public benefits such as infrastructure development, urban planning, or social equity.
