Abstract

In recent years, China's urban landscape has undergone a significant transformation, characterized by the rapid and robust development of its cities. Amidst this urban evolution, a distinctive economic phenomenon has quietly emerged: the Street-stall economy. This term refers to a unique form of economic activity where individuals generate income by operating stalls or small businesses in public spaces. Unlike traditional brick-and-mortar establishments, the street-stall economy thrives in a free and highly competitive market environment. What sets the street-stall economy apart is its accessibility and appeal to a growing number of low-income individuals and entrepreneurs. This economic model offers a level playing field, allowing people from diverse backgrounds to participate and engage in commerce. The street-stall economy embodies the spirit of grassroots entrepreneurship, enabling individuals to showcase their creativity, talents, and goods to a broad audience. As this economic trend gains momentum, it not only provides a source of livelihood for many but also contributes to the vibrancy and diversity of urban life. Furthermore, it fosters a sense of community as local residents and tourists alike come together to explore the unique offerings of street stalls. The street-stall economy is a testament to China's evolving economic landscape, reflecting the dynamic and adaptive nature of its urban areas.
