Abstract

Under the influence of the epidemic and based on multiple considerations, many cities in China have lifted their previous controls on street stalls and begun to encourage the development of the street stall economy. Car boot sales, as a new type of business in the stall economy, has started to become increasingly popular among young people and has been attracting more and more citizens. However, limited by factors such as development time and regulation, car boot sales still have a few significant problems. Based on the background of the post epidemic era, this paper has conducted an extensive search and organization of related cases. A comprehensive and multi-faceted study is conducted by analyzing the case of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone's car boot sale in conjunction with other urban policies that actively encourage the street stall economy. Through the analysis of policies and data shown by the Bureau of Statistics, the development plan of car boot sales is studied and analyzed with the intention of achieving the purpose of the study, which is to enable car boot sales to continue to develop and progress. With the analysis of this paper, the recommendations for policies related to the street stall economy and the establishment of regulatory mechanisms are obtained. This paper provides value in further developing car boot sales.
