The article reflects on the public-private articulation processes that take place within the framework of the district policy in the southern Buenos Aires (2008-2019). In particular, the article questions the responses of corporate actors to public incentives regarding the type of strategies and relationships takes place in each district, and the kind of processes and dynamics that are promoted in the territory. From a qualitative approach, and recovering the theoretical perspective of economic sociology, the paper studies the strategies and perceptions of the corporate actors involved in this policy. The findings allow us to question the main assumptions on which this policy is based and to reflect on the scope and limits to urban governances processes.
