摘要

How do local regulations and practices enable or constrain informal work’s potential to contribute to inclusive economic development in US cities? Amid employment and migration crises, informal work provides critical safety nets for those excluded from formal labor markets. Urban planning approaches in San Francisco and New York City often dismiss, disregard or disable informal workers. Examining street vendors and waste pickers, we show how status quo regulatory approaches are not only exclusionary but also miss opportunities to recognize these workers’ contributions. We draw from case studies in the Global South to propose an alternate, inclusive governance approach.
