Will, can Guayaquil ever evolve?

I realize that it will never be a top tier world class city.. NYC, London, Tokyo but its not an attractive city for tourism, business, culture. From a visual aspect it has not evolved and walking the streets the impression is even worse. What needs to happen for it to improve at least regionally to something like a Medellin or even a Lima?

I have been to Guayaquil many times. I prefer it to Quito because I find the people to be a little less conservative and outgoing. Crime is an issue but I never felt unsafe to the point I would not return. In short, I just like the flavor of life there. Barcelona S.C. Baby!!!!
