abstract: This study investigates how street vendors give meaning to the place where they conduct their business in the context of contested urban public space. It has the aim to gain insight in the ways urban public space is defined and shaped ‘from below’, in order to better understand processes through which the formally illegal practice of vending is able to survive in the ‘modern city’. The study is situated in Mumbai, India. 
The study concludes that the construction of public space on a local, street market level is fragmented. It seems that, whereas dominant social groups/the state have well defined ideals about what public space should look like (reflected in policies, laws and regulations), on a local level, individual street vendors select elements from different ideals, regrouping and reshaping them to fit their own interests. In this way public space is redefined on a local level to include street vending.
