Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is to establish the correlation between the urban phonosphere and the binary system of understanding the image of the city. Determination of features of fixation, synthesis and transformation of the sound landscape of a particular image into cultural practices that form an abstract image of the city. Methodology. It involves the application of theoretical and empirical methods such as: an interview that will provide information on the individual perception of a particular image of space, the specificity of fixation of the urban phonosphere, as well as its transformation into cultural practices and thus the representation of images by the authors of the content being analyzed; content analysis is carried out in order to select works on specific topics, the analysis of which will reveal the peculiarities of interpretation of the information contained in the works and patterns of representation of the urban space image by the authors; structural-functional method is used to determine the relationship of concrete-abstract, individual-collective as structural elements in the system of interpretation of the image of the city through the prism of urban soundscape. Scientific novelty. In this development, an attempt was made for the first time to determine the peculiarities of the correlation of the fixed and transformed elements of the urban phonosphere according to the binary system of the city image: collective-individual, concrete-abstract. Conclusions. In this article, the first important steps in the theoretical and empirical study of the functioning of the system of classification of the phenomenon of the image of the city are made. The soundscape capability to represent transformation processes in space through the fixation of the sound landscape is substantiated. The reality of the existence of individual, collective perception, and the emergence of individually-symmetrical images is determined. The possibility of the existence of a form of the primary collective perception of the image of space, its authenticity of fixation, and representation has been established.
