Summary/Abstract: The paper considers the basic concepts of perceiving the city, first and foremost its polarization against the country or the village and (much later) polarization between the old “solidary” and contemporary anomic cities. Aside from this, the paper considers the basic premises and practice of the application of the Conven-tion for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage, which are mostly based on safeguard-ing/protecting premodern cultural elements and – mostly essentialist – group identities, in order to high-light the possibilities of reworking the conceptual framework for the application of the Convention to – here-tofore unknown – urban heritages which originated on completely different premises, as well as the issues and dilemmas which can arise from such attempts.
