Abstract: This contribution questions the notion of middleground as intermediate between the underground and upperground (Cohendet et al., 2010), applied to the specific context of small and medium-sized cities. The aim is to deter- mine to what extent the "ground model" is relevant for such territories and whether it reveals how collaborative spaces work. The results are based on a multiple case analysis based on a semi-directive interview survey. They reveal some particular features that have not been highlighted in the literature, such as a weak fragmentation between actors (multi-community member- ship, inter-layer mobility) and an open and transversal functioning of the spaces studied. To conclude, the three different layers in small and medium- sized cities seem more intricate than in metropolises areas.
