Space for small enterprise – a case study of Kassala, Sudan
In the crowded cities of many developing countries, the requirements of street sellers and craftspeople for space to work and sell their produce are regarded as a nuisance by the local authorities. This article argues that urban developers need to catch up with economic planners inrecognizing the important role of small businesses and the informal sector in developing countries. Drawing lessons from the case of Kassala, Sudan, it is argued that planners should adopt an urban management approach by which small businesses are enabled to grow, and their requirements are
recognized, rather than being constantly restricted and evicted.
