In 2011, the Ministry of Urban Development of the Government of the City of Buenos Aires introduced a sustainable planning criterion through a key publication: the Territorial Model: Buenos Aires, 2010-2060. Using content analysis technique, our general objective was to understand the discursive framework of sustainability reflected in its guidelines, which were presented as frameworks for the design of long-term public policies. We offer a hermeneutical analysis of how the sustainable discourse enabled the thematization of a will to govern, legitimizing the exercise of governmental power. We seek to unravel the articulation of a technical-scientific discursive register with a political one to make sense of governmental practices.
