This paper is on territorial management in the frontier zone of Peru, Brazil and Bolivia, and its relation to the construction of the transoceanic highway. lts main objective is to discuss the processes of urban growth in the settlements of Iñapari (Madre de Dios, Peru), Assis Brasil (Acre, Brazil), and Bolpebra (Pando, Bolivia), and their connection to the wider process of international South American integration. Another objective is to bring a new comprehension to the planning and management process of the Amazon territory from a decentralized viewpoint, taking care of the environmental conservation and the protection of the Rio Acre basin.The discussion departs from the view that the construction of the road will stimulatean organized urban growth that may dramatically enforce the problems in relation to the social and environmental degradation, to flnally propose a new strategy for terri­ torial and urban management through the building of an international city that includes the three urban settlements already mentioned above. Finally, this paper shows that the best development possibilities for the region arein the integral management of the urban services, infrastructure and equipment. It is hoped that the perspective of an international city will ameliorate and even control the appearance of problems typical offrontier urban settlements, such as delinquency, prostitution, drugs trafflc and consumption, smuggling, unemployment, lack of cul­tural identity, etc.
