Building a more democratic relationship between society and cultural policies and heritage preservation has not got certain progress in the achievement of equal cultural rights. This becomes evident in the Imperial City of Petrópolis (RJ), where the instruments of urban planning are directed to a merely touristic treatment of heritage in terms of social exclusion of the local community. Thus, the objective was to understand the relationship between the State and culture in its historical trajectory in the construction of planning more precisely in the city of Petrópolis. For this, the method used was a survey of the main discussions on cultural and preservation heritage policies in Brazil and the municipal master plans. Therefore, in the policies of preservation of heritage, the social hierarchy between the cult and the uneducated was never legitimately broken, but reinvented on limits of return to a imperial past.
