Street vending: Understanding emotional markups and market interactions
Despite the ubiquity of street vending in urban landscapes and its significance as a livelihood choice among the poor, it is challenging to collect comprehensive data on vendors – especially children.

Understanding the complexities of street vending and street-connected children can serve as a crucial input into building resilient and inclusive cities.
