The Changing Face of the city of Managua in Nicaragua reflects the current government's desire to erase evidence of the revolutionary past and to present a welcoming environment for foreign investors and the national elite. The use of urban space is inflected by gender and power in the neoliberal era as women and low-income residents in general are removed from public view or located in marginal sites.  Ironically, harsh conditions may be catalyzing a more unified response from civil society to address the nation's problems.
