It is called eminent domain when a city or government takes private property for public use. The idea is that it is for the "better good" of the community or state.
Both are powers of the state and regulated by the state. They aim to better the state: Police power betters health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the state. Eminent domain betters the state by putting land to public or civic use or economic development.

Eminent domain, commonly also referred to as condemnation, is the power of a government entity to claim land which is needed for a public purpose, but only after following due process and equitably compensating the owner for the value of the taking.
The concept of seizing private property (with compensation) for the public good is known as "eminent domain." Federal, state, and local governments are allowed to take property for government use, with the most common uses ff property taken by eminent domain are for government buildings and other facilities, public utilities, highways, railroads, and public safety. Water and air rights can also be taken. The Fifth Amendment imposes limitations on the exercise of eminent domain: the taking must be for public use and just compensation must be paid.

The power of the government to enact eminent domain and take private property from citizens is derived from the 5th Amendment of the US Constitution which states: "No person shall be deprived of... property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation". The 5th amendment doe not actually establish eminent domain as a government power. The 5th amendment sets limits to eminent domain.

"The city used eminent domain to take over my grandfather's farm and use it as a watershed area.""The state acquired the property for the freeway under the principle of eminent domain."* Eminent Domain is the power of the State to take over private property for a public use with payment of compensation to owner. The Supreme Court held in Kelo vs. City of New London that re-developing an area with a shopping mall could be considered a "public use." Eminent Domain is very broadly intrepreted in favor of the State.
