chanting

The act of the hawker, taking goods around the neighbourhood, chanting in the past, put on the speaker in the present, letting everyone know what they are selling, sometimes, the price, or explanation about how good their products are.

They usually need a spot to stop and selling their products to anyone giving them a shout. Their routes speak their relationship with the urban fabric, the notion of accessibilities, coverages, distances, etc. Meanwhile, their organisation of business demonstrates the notion of scale in the local economics. 

Reading their spatial products is an act of formalising and locating their contribution into the contemporary urbanisation.
