QUOTE: The concept of the portable streets

"The concept of the portable streets is based on the fact that a large portion of today’s cities exists in informality, and that it is necessary to find ways to integrate the formal and the informal sectors. Inspired on the bouquinistes of Paris, this piece of urban furniture made of fiberglass or metal allows accommodating street vendors with quality and comfort, adding a new element to the urban landscape".
