A comprehensive analysis of the issues involved in planning for and facilitating successful street commerceStreet commerce has gained prominence in urban areas, where demographic shifts such as increasing numbers of single people and childless 'empty nesters,' along with technological innovations enabling greater flexibility of work locations and hours, have changed how people shop and dine out. Contemporary city dwellers are demanding smallerscale stores located in public spaces that are accessible on foot or by public transit. At the same time, the emergence of online retail undermines both the dominance and viability of bigbox discount businesses and drives brick and mortar stores to focus as much on the experience of shopping as on the goods and services sold. Meanwhile, in many developing countries, the bulk of urban retail activity continues to take place on the street, even as new caroriented shopping centers are on the rise. In light of such trends, street commerce will play an important role in twentyfirstcentury cities, particularly in producing farreaching benefits for the environment and local communities.Although street commerce is deeply intertwined with myriad contemporary urban visions and planning goalswalkability, quality of life, inclusion, equity, and economic resilienceit has rarely been the focus of systematic research and informed practice. In Street Commerce, Andres Sevtsuk presents a comprehensive analysis of the issues involved in implementing successful street commerce. Drawing on economic theory, urban design principles, regulatory policies, and merchant organization models, he conceptualizes key problems and offers innovative solutions. He provides a range of examples from around the world to detail how different cities and communities have bolstered and reinvigorated their street commerce. According to Sevtsuk, successful street commerce can only be achieved when the private sector, urban policy makers, planners, and the public are equipped with the relevant knowledge and tools to plan and regulate it.
