Lift the ban on "roadside stalls"? These places all have movements!
2023-05-09
The "fireworks" in Zibo have spread to first tier cities. Shenzhen has introduced new regulations that no longer completely prohibit roadside stalls. Prior to this, cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Lanzhou also conducted relevant explorations. How to balance the relationship between commercial operations and urban management has become a new challenge faced by local governments. Shenzhen no longer completely prohibits "roadside stalls", and many places have launched measures. Recently, the newly revised "Shenzhen Special Economic Zone City Appearance and Environmental Sanitation Management Regulations" were passed by the 17th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 7th People's Congress of Shenzhen, and will be implemented from September 1, 2023. The revised Regulations no longer fully prohibit roadside stalls. Specifically, the original provision of "prohibiting stores, stores from exceeding doors, and displaying and operating windows and walls" was revised to "malls, stores exceeding doors, and displaying and operating windows and walls should comply with the regulations". On the basis of the original prohibition of unauthorized occupation of urban roads and their sides, pedestrian overpasses, pedestrian tunnels, and other public places for stacking items, setting up stalls, and selling goods, an exception provision has been added that "street offices can designate vendors' business premises based on the principles of convenience to the public, reasonable layout, and orderly supervision". Since the beginning of this year, cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Lanzhou have also been exploring policies related to outsourcing operations. In January, Beijing released the "Implementation Plan for Clearing Hidden Barriers and Optimizing the Consumption and Business Environment", proposing 51 reform tasks to overcome pain points and obstacles, including standardizing the operation of commercial districts outside. In February, Shanghai issued the "Guiding Opinions on Further Regulating the Operation Activities of Setting up Stalls in the New Era (Draft for Soliciting Opinions)", proposing that the district government, in conjunction with relevant departments of the city, can designate open areas for setting up stalls, set up characteristic points, diversion points, control points, and designate strictly prohibited areas, strictly controlled areas, and controlled areas as needed. Recently, Lanzhou issued the "Guiding Opinions on Further Standardizing External Trading Operations (Trial)", which standardized the establishment of external trading areas and individual stall setting behavior, clarified the conditions for external trading settings, proposed innovative setting of characteristic points, and encouraged the formation of a service pattern of "basic commerce as the main body and stall setting as a supplement". How to manage setting up a stall? The absence of a comprehensive ban on business regulation policies in various regions does not necessarily mean complete liberalization. Many regions have begun to explore new forms of stall setting, and new management norms urgently need to be established. For example, the highly anticipated internet celebrity city of Zibo provided guidance to residents on setting up stalls as early as two years ago. In June 2020, the Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Bureau of Zibo Economic Development Zone planned 12 convenient evacuation points and morning and night market distribution points. At the same time, operating within the designated area will not charge any fees and all water and electricity fees will be waived. First tier cities such as Beijing and Shanghai also have clear regulations on the business categories, regional scope, and timing of commercial display. In response to the issue of potential street vendors and the impact on the city's appearance caused by the pilot program, at the beginning of this year, the head of relevant departments in Beijing told the media that promoting the pilot program is mainly to meet the needs of the public for leisure and quality consumption, rather than "street vendors". The newly revised regulations in Shenzhen also clearly prohibit the occupation of urban roads and public places for stacking items, setting up stalls, and selling goods. Those who violate this regulation shall be ordered to make corrections by the municipal and district urban management and comprehensive law enforcement departments
