This article discusses the possibilities and challenges of insurgent practices performed by residents of the Poço da Draga community in the city of Fortaleza, in the context of disputes over decision--making power. The analysis considers that most deliberations on space production occur within institutional practices, implemented by planning agencies, sanctioned by the State, but serving private interests. Based on an ethnographic approach, including participant observation and the production of social cartographies, the study highlights aspects of the conflictual relationship between public authorities and residents, who have resisted the threat of eviction for decades. It suggests that, despite the obstacles, organized collective action can contribute to the constitution of more democratic urban commons
