This text has the objective of analysing the new place created by the symbolic dimension of the city. To undertake this, the startingpoint is that all practices generated in space are the complex and conflictive outcomes of social images and imaginaries, considering the relationships and differences generated between them. From this perspective, the close articulation between the organisation of urban images constructed on the basis of the "weight" of cities -principally built heritage- and "immaterial" cultural expressions is analysed. The latter has been recurrently associated with imaginaries, relegated to the field of'popular culture', also new urban images influenced by imaginaries of power, imaginaries of consensus and imaginaries in dispute. In this way, we will deal with the collisions, tensions and distensions that are produced between material and immaterial heritage, considering the place that they have occupied in the formation of cities, particularly Buenos Aires, in relation to urban images and imaginaries.
