Managing the geography of street trading in the UK: a case study of local authority regulation

Abstract

Acknowledges there is an increasing recognition that corporate retail power is the driving force for the supply chain. States a variety of large shopping developments in out of town and edge of town locations, plus continued construction and redevelopment of shopping centres within town and city centres, provide a potential physical pointer regarding retail corporate power. Concludes that major retail centres seem to be prioritised above more informal retail activities, such as street traders.
