    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on the urban renewal effort in Guayaquil, Ecuador. Plans were laid to replace haphazard transportation arrangements with a new rapid transit system. Malecón Simón Bolívar is the boardwalk that parallels the Guayas River and invites strolling, dining, and browsing along the river. Generally acknowledged as the driving force behind the massive revitalization is Guayaquil Mayor Jaime Nebot, whose hands-on approach to addressing urban problems leaves him little time to attend ceremonies in his honor.
