Seoul's street-vendor permit scheme
Seoul was the first metropolitan government in Korea to run this, framing it as protecting pedestrians' right of way and vendors' right to trade at the same time. Stalls that meet the conditions receive a formal road-occupancy permit, and the operator pays an occupancy fee.
