This article analyzes the relations between community and State, their tensions, resistances and challenges when imagining and constructing the city, through of the analysis of categories that mainstream this relation, for example: the antagonism between capitalism and democracy, the crisis of the social contract and the dichotomy between formal and informal city. It relates how the outskirts habitants construct other alternate symbols, creating a new model of citizenship and social contract. Legal sociology is a compass that was used in the study of the construction of city; the methodology used is the ethnographic investigation, that looks for understand the legal, politics and territorial relations existing in the communities of the informal neighborhoods that construct city since a parallel order to the State. The toolbox is the direct observation and the interviews made to the population of the Picachito and El Salado neighborhoods, in 6 and 13 communes at Medellin city – Colombia
