The city of Buenos Aires materialized its forms of land planning, from the political instruments that legitimized the hygienist thought, by applying socio-spatial and socio-political structures that defined geographical space. In this context was defined a hospital model, which launched the ways of urban intervention, replicating a main idea linked to an architectural complex with spaces and volumes rationally organized, which articulated the built -pavilions- with the trails or galleries of linkage and surrounding green areas. In this sense, the article analyzes the basic legal framework that sustained and regulated urban space and public hygiene, and the incidence of the hospital institution, from legal texts, municipal reports and bibliographic sources, that support the conceptual contributions to geographic analysis; and express thoughts about events that impacted in a public health sector and showed the interests controversy on heritage value of the hospital with pavilions and its green space, in order to promote discussion to elaborate new readings of the city and rethink urban planning in light of the 21st century.
