Street vending

Street vending is the sale of goods or services from temporary or mobile setups in public spaces. It ranges from informal sidewalk trade to licensed stalls and carts.

Street food: Prepared food and drink sold by vendors in streets and other public places. Food is among the most visible and regulated forms of street vending.
Farmers' market: A market where farmers and food producers sell directly to consumers at temporary or recurring public gatherings. It offers a scheduled venue for direct sales resembling organized street vending.
Self-employment: Work performed for oneself rather than as an employee of another person or organization. Vending can provide a livelihood with low startup costs and independent control.
Brick-and-mortar retail: Retail conducted from permanent physical shops rather than mobile or temporary setups. Fixed shops rely on durable premises, unlike vendors who can relocate or pack up.
Pushcart: A wheeled cart pushed by hand to transport or sell goods. Pushcarts let vendors move stock and change locations without a fixed stall.
Food truck: A motor vehicle equipped to prepare or sell food, usually at changing locations. Food trucks turn mobility into a defining feature of food vending.
Right to the city: A political idea that urban inhabitants should shape and access the spaces and resources of their city. Vendor claims to public space raise questions about who has a place in the city.
E-commerce: The buying and selling of goods or services through electronic networks, especially the internet. Online commerce reaches customers without occupying a street trading site.
Hawker centre: A shared, often publicly managed food court centered on stalls operated by independent vendors. These centers organize street-food trade in a purpose-built public setting.
Mobile barber: A barber who provides hair-cutting services from a vehicle or temporary location. Service vending can sell skilled labor rather than physical goods.
