Abstract
- A study was conducted to investigate the effects of the planned displacement of informal traders from city-center streets. The municipal-led changes reveal a process which shows many of the hallmarks of gentrification. It is concluded that the changing pattern of informal trading can be viewed as a 'barometer' of the progress of policy-led gentrification.
