The Brazilian Amazonia region, identified by its rain forest and home of 12% percent of the population of the country is focus of a rich scientific and intellectual production. For decades now, the Brazilian geography and geopolitics framework has been building a solid interpretation over relationships of regions, national state, territory and development. This article aims to discuss localities and environmental and social impacts related to the emergence of a new urban network that has become strategic for the industry of hydroelectricity production. The case studied highlights issues that exposes how the political planning allied to the global energy market can influence the formation of unequal development in urban and agrarian space in the country. This process brings the “urban temporalities” the post-modernity and the global market language to places that weren’t (in such an effective way) linked to those representations and ideas. It is verified, however, that such logic is repeated in other parts of the world. The purpose is to present a contribution supporting further conceptions for a methodological framework that can highlight such issues for a global and deeper analyze.
