Have street vendors been given a space? (part 2 of 2)

Street vendors cover both sides of the street and stretch as as the eye could see along Charlotte Street, Port of Spain. Many people go about their business, stopping here and there to look at goods or make some purchases. Vendors sit in their stalls tending to their goods, promote their stock to customers in a boisterous manner or are busy conducting transactions with customers.

Even though the city has been planned in a way there is no room or available space for street vendors, the city of Port of Spain has made a compromise. Street vendors have been given provisions to vend on certain streets such as Charlotte Street and George Street. The city of Port of Spain is made up of planned and unplanned areas. The central business district is also located in this area. The urban structure of Port of Spain is in a way similar to Ullman and Harris multiple nuclei model of urban land use. These are the lower class residents supporting their selves by making use of the the informal sector.
