“…Yet this process of rejuvenation is increasingly occurring at the expense of poorer sectors of the population who for many years have used the public spaces of historic centres as working and in some cases living spaces. And of central importance here is the wave of redevelopment policies, which entail the displacement of street vendors from streets, sidewalks, and plazas in historic centres and beyond (Bromley and Mackie 2009;Middleton 2003).…”

“…Accordingly, street vending, as an urban income-generating activity, has been studied in many settings. However, most empirical studies published in English focus on street trade in developing countries (e.g., Bhowmik, 2005Bhowmik, , 2010, Middle and Latin American countries (e.g., Coletto, 2010;Cross, 1998;Cutsinger, 2000;Harrison and McVey, 1997;Middleton, 2003) and southern European countries (e.g., Antonopoulos et al, 2011;Bellinvia, 2013;Lazaridis and Koumandraki, 2003;Nelken, 2006). Given that Western societies have also experienced more contractual and short-term employment, higher levels of unemployment and a decrease of expenditure on metropolitan administration and welfare services, urban areas in these societies are deemed to be informalised (Williams and Windebank, 2001).…”

“…In many instances, relocation has led to declining income levels with mixed working conditions (Donovan, 2008;Carrieri & Murta, 2011). In the long run, vendors abandon the formalised market spaces and then return to vending areas as in the case of cities across Africa (Hansen, 2004), Asia (Smart, 1986) and Latin America (Cross, 1998;Middleton, 2003;Donovan, 2008;Carrieri & Murta, 2011). In not a few cases, relocation has failed due to ill-conceived location, bureaucratic and costly regulations, and the lack of customer drawing power of the chosen spaces (Donovan, 2008;Weng & Kim, 2016).…”
