dc.description.abstractThe article probes the complexity of dealing with two interrelated wicked prob lems, namely informal, self-employed street vendors, and their experiences of lit tering. This paper describes the themes that emerged from 92 qualitative interviews to determine the perceptions of street vendors regarding reasons for littering on the streets where they operate as well as their experiences of working in these littered environments. By drawing on the themes emerging from semi-structured inter views with vendors, we suggest how stakeholders could engage with the concerns = around street vending and littering by means of the use of adaptive management or co-management, engaging, and integrating diverse perspectives, the facilitation of self-organisation, and establishing safe boundaries to evade system thresholds. In this way, complexity-based strategies can promote people-centred urban governance that empowers and includes citizens in attempts to manage the wicked problems of growing cities inclusivelyen_US
