GALIMBERTI, Cecilia Inés. Representations and regional cultural heritage. Study of the imaginary on the bank of Rosario, Argentina. Arquitectura y Urbanismo [online]. 2013, vol.34, n.1, pp. 06-16. ISSN 1815-5898.

Much of Latin American cities face, in recent decades, with processes of territorial transformation that, on the one hand, lead to strengthen its membership of the global village and, on the other hand, increasing levels of poverty, social segregations and fragmentations in all its fields. So, in this paper, we propose to reflect on the central role that possess cultural heritage and collective representations in contemporary planning, in order to strengthen and restore local territorial identity in a more democratic and inclusive framework. For this purpose, we analyze the different imaginaries in the waterfront of the Paraná River in the city of Rosario - Argentina-, as a representative sample of a problem common to other Latin American cities; in order to provide keys and research perspectives that can be applied to other cases of study.

Keywords : cultural heritage; territorial representations; imaginary; Latin American cities.
