Abstract
This article is based on an evaluation of Territorio 5, a collective management of the inter-neighbourhoods urban territories of the city of Talca. This project involved the union of various neighbourhood units, together with academia and civil society, to produce a diagnosis and a governance management model that allowed new ways of dealing with the the State and the market. This was addressed through the collection of secondary data and documents, produced during and after the implementation of the initiative; and interviews with key informants who participated (and still do) in the experience. Through their observations and narratives, we can see the constitution of Territorio 5 as a territorial common, and in their analysis, we can trace its organisation, its material and symbolic milestones and its contribution to cohesion, and how, through this, Territorio 5 has the capacity to produce other common goods. We highlight the process of transformation of ways of understanding citizenship and participation departing from patronage-leaned and clientelist rationalities towards more collective ones. The review of this experience invites us to think about territorial innovations from the perspective of overcoming the current neighbourhood-territorial institutions, considering the perspective of territorial production and the management of the commons as a way of strengthening social cohesion and counteracting structures that tend to produce atomised and dispersed subjectivities.Keywords:
