6. Challenge #2: Lack of a Larger Vision We still don’t understand the larger picture of what trade looks like in terms of: Demand Analyses Mapping Storage locations, goods movement, and spatial collaborations Pedestrian movements in relation to the location of traders The physical element: What trading structures best support traders The business element: What new practices could promote safer transactions and trading spaces for traders and customers? Onward economic growth: How can informal trade link into local supply chains to encourage further growth in the informal sector?
