Las “Áreas Revertidas” hacen referencia a las Áreas Revertidas del Canal de Panamá y corresponden a la antigua Zona del Canal de Panamá que estaba administrada bajo los Estados Unidos hasta la firma de los Tratados Torrijos-Carter, en la que se reconoce la soberanía panameña y abolió el gobierno civil estadounidense en dicha zona. Éstas áreas fueron paulatinamente revertidas a territorio de Panamá desde el 1 de octubre de 1979 hasta el 31 de diciembre de 1999 y comprenden un total de 1,474 km² (137,174 Hectáreas).
Los barrios residenciales de la Zona del Canal y sus edificaciones, tienen un estilo arquitectónico típico sureño estadounidense y se caracterizan por encontrarse rodeados de grandes áreas verdes y naturaleza.
El paisajismo, cuidadosamente planificado, evoca los suburbios estadounidenses de los años 20. En el área del Pacífico pertenecen a esta zona los barrios residenciales de Albrook, Clayton, Diablo, Los Ríos, Howard y Cárdenas. En el Atlántico, Espinar, Sherman y Margarita.

Su Historia
La Zona del Canal de Panamá fue un territorio no organizado de los Estados Unidos enclavado en Panamá, que consistía en el Canal de Panamá, tierras y aguas circundantes. Tenía un área de 1.432km² y se extendía a 8,1 km a cada lado del canal (se excluían las ciudades de Panamá y Colón, que parcialmente se encontraban en ese rango). Las fronteras de este territorio dividían el país en dos partes y fueron creadas el 18 de noviembre de 1903 con la firma delTratado Hay-Bunau Varilla.
Desde 1903 hasta 1979 el territorio fue controlado por los Estados Unidos, que construyeron y financiaron el canal. Debido a los hechos acontecidos en el Día de los Mártires, el 9 de enero de 1964, que reclamaban el retorno de la Zona del Canal a la República de Panamá, mediante los Tratados Torrijos-Carter firmados en 1977, se abolió el territorio en 1979 y se convirtieron en las Áreas Revertidas del Canal de Panamá, que tenían un control estadounidense en conjunto con el control panameño, y que gradualmente dichas áreas serían transferidas a la República de Panamá, proceso que concluiría el 31 de diciembre de 1999.
Durante el control estadounidense de la Zona del Canal, el territorio aparte del mismo canal, fue usado principalmente para usos militares; sin embargo existían aproximadamente 3.000 civiles estadounidenses que residían permanentemente y a cuya partida dejaron un importante inventario de edificaciones hoy en día altamente cotizados para fines residenciales, comerciales, industriales y turísticos.

The "USA Reverted Areas" refer to the reverted areas of the Panama Canal and correspond to the former Panama Canal Zone that was administered by the United States of America until the signing of the Torrijos-Carter, which recognized Panamanian sovereignty and abolished the American civil government in that area. These areas were gradually reverted to the territory of Panama from October 1, 1979 until December 31, 1999 and comprise a total of 1,474 km² (137.174 hectars).
The residential neighborhoods in the Canal Zone and its buildings have an architectural style typical of the Southern U.S.A. and is characterized for being surrounded by large green areas and nature. The landscaping, carefully planned, evokes the American suburbs of the 20's. In the Pacific side, are part of this zone the residential neighborhoods of Albrook, Clayton, Diablo, Los Rios, Howard and Cárdenas. In the Atlantic, Espinar, Margarita and Sherman.
History
The Panama Canal Zone was an unorganized territory of the United States located in Panama, consisting of the Panama Canal, land and surrounding waters. Had an area of 1.432km² and extended to 8.1 km on each side of the canal (excluding the cities of Panama and Colon, which partially were in that range). The boundaries of this territory divided the country into two parts and were created on November 18, 1903 with the signing of the Hay-Bunau Varilla Treaty.
From 1903 to 1979 the territory was controlled by the United States, who built and financed the canal. Due to the events on the Day of the Martyrs, the January 9, 1964, claiming the return of the Canal Zone to the Republic of Panama by the Torrijos-Carter signed in 1977, the territory was abolished in 1979 and became the reverted areas of the Panama Canal, which had a U.S. control in conjunction with the Panamanian government, and gradually these areas would be transferred to the Republic of Panama, a process that would end on December 31, 1999.
During U.S. control of the Canal Zone, this territories were used mainly for military purposes, but there were about 3,000 American civilians who resided permanently in the territory, leaving with their departure a huge inventory of buildings which are very demanded by locals and foreigners.
