Growing up in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), the biggest metropolitan in Vietnam, with the population up to 9 million , and having lived in the city center, more than often, I have been too familiar with the bustling images of the central streets centers and burdens on sidewalk corners. This research takes off from the close relationship between the sellers, more particularly, street vendors, and their influences on the sidewalk pattern of Vietnam in terms of design, architecture, culture, and urban life. The sector of sidewalk informality has become an unfinished discussion for the authorities for a decade, I believe that a complex issue creates many opportunities for solutions or promising proposals for future implementation.
