This paper explores the territorialities present in the Eje Cafetero's city region, an urban system located in Colombia's center-west expressed in the relations of appropriation and identity manifested by its inhabitants. Through the semi-structured interview applied to social actors, the existence of a territorial belonging anchored in the past (colonization, coffee culture) was evidenced, but it is renewed with the current phenomena and redefined from them: the city region as a territory for development acquires importance in the discourse of the actors.
