Abstract
In this work I am interested in marking how the academic and management matrices intersect, when it comes to coordinating the design and implementation of a government policy for the integral urbanization of the habitat. From a work experience that committed me as a manager from the academic field, I seek to describe with the greatest possible density, the incidence of categories of the scientific field in the production and implementation of projects promoted from the program. These new dimensions meant the emergence of tensions in the traditional approaches to the social issue in the Neighborhood Improvement Program (PRO.ME.BA), both at the level of the workers of the program, and of the citizens themselves (before “target population”), in a province in northeastern Argentina.
