Abstract

Street vending has long been one of the most visible economic manifestations of urban economies in the Southern Hemisphere. Not only does it provide employment opportunities for hundreds of millions of people around the world, but it also poses a huge challenge to urban management. In the post epidemic period, governments across China have proposed policy documents related to managing vendors in order to stimulate economic recovery and strengthen urban governance. The aim of this paper is to collect data through bibliometric methods on government websites of nine typical cities in the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration. Subsequently, the results are analysed dialectically using swot and pestel analysis methods, which show that the governance model of small city governments is single but with intangible cultural heritage characteristics; the governance model of medium-sized cities is also single and lacks local characteristics; and the governance model of large cities is the most scientific and reasonable and the model adheres to the concept of people-centredness. Finally, the paper concludes with suggestions and expectations with reference to the governance experiences of other cities.
