The case of the reconstruction of Managua, Nicaragua 1972 - 2014 Gentrificación de escala intermedia global en Latinoamérica. El caso de la reconstrucción de Managua, Nicaragua 1972-2014 Inzulza Contardo, Jorge Alejandro López Irías, Néstor Saúl In the contemporary context, it is possible to study gentrification processes at a wide range of scales across the global territory. Within this framework, the role of intermediate cities is crucial, especially when undergoing post earthquake reconstruction, as it happens in many Latin American cities. This article amplifies the gentrification debate, looking at reconstruction urban policies applied on intermediate cities, using the Diagram of Earthquake Alert Cycle (DCAT) as theoretical framework. The gentrification process triggered by interventions in Managua's central area, between 1972 and 2014, is documented. Five landmarks related to specific reconstruction policies, are studied, as they have played a role in the development of real estate speculation processes, contributing to social replacement, as well as the growth of the urban area of the city. The article concludes that gentrification has been present since the beginning of the post 1972 interventions in the city of Managua, even though it is not regarded as part of the government's agenda, which means that it requires attention, in order to revert the process towards the generation of new opportunities for urban development. Hoy en día, el estudio de la gentrificación se posiciona como un proceso posible de aplicar en prácticamente toda la escala del territorio global. Dentro de este contexto, el rol que cumplen las ciudades intermedias es crucial y, sobretodo, aquellas que se ven afectas a procesos de reconstrucción post terremotos, como es el caso de América Latina. El presente artículo amplifica el debate de la gentrificación en el contexto de las políticas urbanas post terremotos aplicadas en ciudades intermedias, analizado bajo el marco-teórico de Diagrama de Ciclo de Alerta del Terremoto (DCAT). Se documenta el proceso de gentrificación producido por las intervenciones urbanas en la antigua área central de Managua, Nicaragua entre los años 1972 y 2014.Se relevan cinco hitos historiográficos que dicen relación con políticas específicas de reconstrucción, que estarían facilitando la especulación de suelo urbano de la ciudad, generando por una parte, variables de reemplazo social y, por otra, extendiendo el área urbana y su relación metropolitana-intermedia. El artículo concluye que la gentrificación ha estado presente desde el inicio de las intervenciones post 1972 en esta ciudad, sin embargo, no es parte de la agenda gubernamental, requiriendo entonces, de mayor visibilidad y reversión de este proceso como oportunidad de desarrollo urbano.
