The sidewalk on Quang Trung Street, next to the Quang Trung Area B Renovation Project, Vinh City, has recently been occupied by many households to set up spontaneous stalls. Not only displaying goods, some households also set up temporary houses, tents, and arranged places to eat and sleep overnight, making this area messy, causing loss of urban beauty, and environmental pollution.
