In this paper we will explore around the debates raised between the Cabildo of Buenos Aires and

Governor Bucareli in relation to the proposed construction of the Alameda, in order to call into question
what were the urban proposals relevant to the time and what the specific needs of the city in their daily
functioning according to each of the actors involved. This dispute took on features that went beyond the
game of economic influences raising questions concerning the forms in which an urban and political
project was conceptualized in the mid-eighteenth century.
