Chinese economy has been badly hit by the new epidemic. Therefore, many people lost their jobs, lost their income and even could not survive. Therefore, after the epidemic situation controlled to some extent, the Chinese government put forward “Street-stall Economy”, encouraging people to set up stalls on the street to promote consumption.

In fact, for Chinese people, Street-stall Economy is not a new concept. Almost 20 years ago, people could see very prosperous flea markets and street stalls all around the country, especially during night. At that time, the traffic preasure was not heavy, people used to ride bikes and motorcycles, and people were willing to do activities on the streets. However, when Chinese economy became better and better, there were more and more cars on the streets, the roads get wider, and the city became extremely crowded. Maybe for people’s safety and the beauty of the city, the government had stringent ordinances for Street-stall Economy, and it was hard to see street activities then.

This kind of change absolutely proves the concept《Life Between Buildings》mentioned. Therefore, I was happy to see that the Chinese government calls on people to go outside, do street-stalls and rebuild the city vitality under management.
