Modular Vehicle for Street Vendor
Street Vendors are people who sell essential grocery items and goods. They contribute to our cities' economy, society, and culture. Street vendors may be stationary in the sense that they occupy space on the pavements or other public/private spaces, or they may be mobile by moving from place to place by carrying their wares on push carts or in baskets on their heads. Street vendors contribute tremendously to our cities' economy, society, and culture. Despite this, the issue of recognizing and regulating street vending is one of the most intractable issues in cities. They might do various sorts of business in a single day, so he/she might transform the vehicle accordingly. Street vendors have been in existence since ancient times. In all ancient and medieval civilizations, one reads accounts of traveling merchants who sold their wares in the town by going from house to house and trading in neighboring countries. Modular Vehicle for street vendor Indian Institute for Human Settlements (IIHS), in partnership with the Hungry Cities Project, surveyed 1000 food vendors across Bengaluru. Results revealed that about 47% of vendors were mobile food vendors operating out of a mobile cart, cycle, or bike, and 18% would sell their items in multiple locations in the city. For most street vendors, trading from the pavements is full of uncertainties. The authorities constantly harass them. The local bodies conduct eviction drives to clear the pavements of these encroachers and, in most cases, confiscate their goods. The total employment provided through street vending becomes larger if we consider the number of industries it sustains by marketing its products. Many goods sold, such as clothes and hosiery, leather and molded plastic goods, household goods, and some food items, are manufactured in small-scale or home-based industries.
