Abstract: The promise of coproduction as a community-based approach to the delivery of public services has always been one of the more appealing aspects of this concept. However, one of the challenges of coproduction, as argued by Charles Levine, is how this approach can also serve as an innovative and participatory perspective that can foster experimentation in building a more substantive relationship between citizens and public agencies. It will be argued here that a step in this direction is to promote what is called a co-possibility perspective to coproduction endeavors emphasizing substantive learning and disaggregate policy making.
