The Regularization of Street Vending in Bhubaneshwar, India: A Policy Model

By on June 01, 2012

After years of conflict between street traders and local authorities, the city of Bhubaneshwar, India developed a public, private and community partnership model for street vending.

The model recognized the contributions of street traders to the city, and entailed dedicated and legally sanctioned vending zones in public space, as well as attractive fixed kiosks. This Policy Brief details the inclusive planning process, from joint planning of the conceptual model to the realization of 54 vending zones, and discusses the challenges that arose.
