城市治理和规划的规范性方法以及理想化的城市空间愿景往往导致将街头商贩和其他非正规经济工作者从公共空间搬迁或强行驱逐，并将其作为一项政策选择。清理往往是对短期政治需要的回应，在进行清理时，对城市非正规经济的相互关联性质或由此产生的广泛贫穷影响知之甚少。结果，街头商贩感到被排斥，经常把自己描述为难民。本文从产权的角度和法律的授权的范例出发，比较了2006-2007年在达累斯萨拉姆和2007年在达喀尔对街头商贩进行的重大清理，对商贩的结果截然不同。它探讨了清场背后的政治举措，两国的双重产权制度，以及社会运动的不同角色，导致一个城市的政治力量在一个城市出现，而另一个城市则被被动边缘化。最后，它认为，公共空间的概念，作为一个混合的公共产品“将允许一个更适当的产权制度，为城市非正规经济。
Normative approaches to urban governance and planning and idealised visions of city space too often result in relocation or forced eviction of street traders and other informal economy workers from public space as a policy of choice. Often a response to a short-term political imperative, clearances take place with little understanding of the interconnected nature of the urban informal economy or widespread poverty impacts that result. As a result, street traders feel ostracised and often describe themselves as refugees. Drawing on a property rights perspective, and the legal empowerment' paradigm, this paper compares the major clearances of street traders that took place in Dar es Salaam in 2006-2007 and Dakar in 2007, with very different outcomes for traders. It explores the political initiatives behind the clearances, the dual property rights regimes in both countries, and the different roles of social movements, resulting in emerging political power in one city and passive marginalisation in another. Finally it argues that the conceptualisation of public space as a hybrid public good' would allow for a more appropriate property rights regime for the urban informal economy.
