Laari Futures: Mapping 78 street vending typologies as mobile urban infrastructure across India

Summary

Chaal Chaal Agency's research project, Atlas of (In)Constant Infrastructures, documented 78 street vending typologies across 12 Indian cities through maps and drawings. The research reveals how the vending cart functions as more than a display surface — it structures vendor occupation of streets, shapes customer interaction, and creates a temporary commercial edge in urban space. The Laari Futures project builds on this work by revisiting existing vending typologies to explore design possibilities for mobile urban infrastructure.
