| Abstract (English): |
This article examines the emergence of urban commons (UC) as development alternatives in cities and as responses to the limitations of the State and the market in providing mechanisms and means for communities to collectively access goods. Three cases are studied in Barón Hill (Cerro Barón) in Valparaiso: a space for memory and culture, a local space for community and territorial organizations, and a garden/soup kitchen. Through semi-structured interviews with organization members, institutional representatives, and informants from other hills, the results reveal mechanisms of dispute, appropriation, and resignification of urban/neighborhood spaces, along with the revitalization of abandoned areas, and the formation of a community-strengthening network featuring "inter-hill" nodes that facilitate the exchange of information and experiences. This research contributes to understanding the governance and political economy of urban commons, demonstrating that the role and scale of neighborhood organizations can significantly influence decision-making and provisioning processes in the city, both at specific moments and on a permanent basis.

| Abstract (Spanish): |
El presente artículo analiza el surgimiento de comunes urbanos (CU) como alternativas de desarrollo en la ciudad y como respuestas a las limitaciones del Estado y del mercado en la provisión de mecanismos y medios de acceso colectivo a bienes. Se estudian tres casos en el cerro Barón en Valparaíso: un espacio de memoria y cultura, una sede de organizaciones comunitarias y territoriales y un huerto/comedor popular. Mediante entrevistas semiestructuradas a miembros de organizaciones, representantes institucionales e informantes de otros cerros, se revelan mecanismos de disputa, apropiación y resignificación de espacios urbanos barriales, la reactivación de áreas abandonadas y la conformación de una red de fortalecimiento comunitario con nodos "intercerros", que permiten el intercambio de información y experiencias. La investigación aporta a la comprensión de la gobernanza y economía política de los comunes urbanos y pone en evidencia el rol y la escala en que las organizaciones barriales pueden incidir, no sólo en momentos específicos sino de forma permanente, en los procesos de toma de decisión y provisión en la ciudad.
