En este trabajo analizamos las medidas que se intentaron implementar en Buenos Aires entre 1740 y 1776 para ordenar el aseo urbano. El tema será abordado tanto desde los lineamientos ideológicos y científicos que le dieron una forma específica a las órdenes emitidas, como desde los distintos dispositivos implementados para lograr su cumplimiento. Analizando estas cuestiones, será posible repensar sobre las diversas representaciones existentes en torno a la forma y la organización que una ciudad ideal del siglo XVIII debía alcanzar; además las medidas enunciadas podrán insertarse dentro de una trama más amplia de intereses de tipo político que se evidenciaron en la organización de la vida cotidiana. Neste artigo, analisamos as medidas tentadas a serem implementadas em Buenos Aires entre 1740 e 1776 para regulamentar a limpeza urbana. O tema será abordado sob a perspectiva das diretrizes ideológicas e científicas que deram forma específica às ordens emitidas, bem como dos diferentes mecanismos implementados para alcançar seu cumprimento. A análise dessas questões nos permitirá reconsiderar as diversas representações em torno da forma e da organização que uma cidade ideal do século XVIII deveria ter. Além disso, as medidas delineadas podem ser inseridas em um quadro mais amplo de interesses políticos que se manifestavam na organização da vida cotidiana.
