The metropolitan area of Santa Cruz has experienced sustained growth since the mid-20th century, becoming the most economically and demographically developed in Bolivia. Consequently, the last two decades have been characterized by unsustainable expansion within its territory. In this context, the overarching objective of the research is to identify patterns of metropolitan development, specifically focusing on delineating the urbanized area in relation to the total land surface. From this identification, the aim is to monitor the future evolution of the region to devise strategies based on lessons learned. To achieve these objectives, Geographic Information Systems and Artificial Intelligence tools have been employed. A detailed Metropolitan Map highlighting the road structure is presented. Subsequently, a Figure-Ground Map is presented, where three sectors were examined at different scales. The results obtained serve as a basis for reflection on integrated planning, the review of responsibilities of real estate developers, and community participation in urban growth management. In the conclusions, the importance of geospatial tools is emphasized for understanding the metropolitan scale and analyzing urban evolution in a multiscale manner. Finally, the recommendations underscore that this research provides valuable information for generating strategies in the face of large extents of urbanized land and how their future occupation can be established.
