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.

This paper focuses on the strategic planning method linked to the territory' s sustainable development as it is currendy being proposed by various organisms involved in public policies in Peru. lt is aimed to discuss the methodology in terms of its validity as a new theoretical paradigm. lts ultimare goal is to bring about a new comprehension of the strategic planning process within the present competitive framework -among districts, provinces, regions, etc.- featured by factors such as human resources assessment, expressive technological investments and emphasis on inter-connectivity, among others.The paper starts by revising the strategic planning model genesis within the publicinitiative sector and its relationship with the attraction of privare investments at local scale. The percourse which links one point to the other goes through both the perspective of economists and administrators and the vision of prominent planners. lt ends up by showing the possibilities of a new prospect in the strategic planning of development at local scale, as well as existing doubts regarding the model: firstly, if we lack adequate information in reference to the objective capacities of our closest competitors, we will hardly be able to elaborare competitive strategies favorable to us in a specific environment; secondly, we consider that, in the current context of our country, the goals in the territory development process must be guidelined by employment and income generation for local population and this, without doubt, relies on systematic planning of investment attraction; and finally, we accept that strategic planning may constitute a tool that will enable to consolidare the decentralization and territorial integration processes.
