In an era when Southeast Asian cities are seeing unprecedented growth and expansion, it is critical to examine the impacts of these rapid transformations on the livelihoods of everyday residents. Certainly, within Hanoi, state-led efforts to reshape the capital into a modern metropolis are effectively redefining membership in the city: informal livelihoods are branded as uncivilized in the Vietnam state's modernization discourse and come under pressure through policies aimed at organizing pavement spaces. In other words, the state is not only redesigning and reimagining Hanoi's built environment, but also who belongs to it and who does not. I seek to draw attention to the ways in which access to urban citizenship is becoming increasingly disparate and contested.In this dissertation, I investigate the complexities of Hanoi's approach to urban planning and growth in relation to the livelihood practices, everyday politics and micro-mobilities of the city's street vendors. I do so by tracing the intricacies of state visions for Hanoi following Dổi Mới(economic renovation) in the mid-1980s and the resultant impacts of urban planning and governance strategies on vendingscapes. Changes in land-use and state regulations in and around the city exert pressures on urban citizens with limited social, economic and political power- such as street vendors-and threaten to redefine urban membership and mobilities according to divisive and exclusionary lines. Still, vendors continue to carve out informal livelihoods amidst Hanoi's rapidly transitioning cityscape. In everyday ways, vendors are responding to the Vietnam state's urban planning and governance approaches, doing so to secure their livelihoods and claim a space in Hanoi.My study aims to better understand the coherences and contradictions between state urban planning and the livelihood survival strategies of urban vendors in a post-socialist city: Hanoi, Vietnam. To fulfil this aim, I pose three core research questions. First, I ask: what visions have state and municipal governments planned for Hanoi since Dổi Mớiand how does this affect street vendor livelihoods? To answer this question, I explore land-use change and planning approaches in Hanoi, investigating the how these policies are affecting street vendors and their mobilities. To better understand the impact of market factors on the city's vendors, I consider the major socioeconomic changes occurring in Hanoi and how these changes come together in the imagining and production of the city's public spaces.My second research question asks: how do street vendors make a livelihood in Hanoi? As such, I provide a portrait of the daily trading practices and routines of Hanoi's street vendors, addressing the points of convergence and divergence between fixed and itinerant vendors. I explore the degree to which social ties and household responsibilities play a role in street vendor livelihood decision-making processes. To better understand the how street vendors do or do not find a place in the capital, I examine the spatial processes and practices at work in the contest for Hanoi's streets, focusing on vendors' experiences of the urban streetscape.My third research question asks: how do Hanoi's street vendors respond to contradictions between state urban planning and their own livelihood strategies? To better understand the power dynamics that imbue access to pavements, I investigate the points of overlap and departure between state and vendor perceptions of Hanoi's street spaces. I examine vendors' everyday politics as they take shape in the context of urban change and the extent to which the city's informal traders respond to urban governance and planning strategies with resistance, compliance or negotiation. I argue that concepts from mobilities, urban citizenship and everyday politics literatures provide a crucial groundwork for understanding the mechanics of how vendors negotiate contradictions between their lived experiences of Hanoi's streets and the state's spatial imaginaries.Conceptually, my research is grounded in five relevant bodies of scholarship: (1) social spatializations; (2) urban citizenship; (3) sustainable livelihoods; (4) mobilities; and (5) everyday politics and resistance. My fieldwork centred primarily on Hanoi's Hoan Kiếm District-located in the core of the city-paired with comparative data collection in an additional eight urban districts and three periurban and rural communities. My research takes an ethnographic approach, incorporating six core methods: conversational interviews, semi-structured interviews, solicited journals, photovoice, participant observation and mobile ethnographies. Research participants included street vendors, urban residents, law enforcement officials, state planners and policy-makers.This thesis provides insight into the tensions between the Vietnam state's view of development and the daily experiences, routines and livelihood strategies of informal traders working on the fringe of legality. I argue that by maintaining their presence in the city, in spite of state regulations, vendors challenge the state's narrow visions of a new, 'modern' Hanoi. In the process, vendors make a case for the coexistence of 'new' and 'traditional' elements of the cityscape and stake claim to Hanoi's future. In this way, Hanoi's streetscape becomes the object and locale of citizen-state struggles, highlighting the ways in which everyday politics are enacted to challenge exclusionary state sanctions. Through this research, I hope to contribute to social science understandings of the complexities and interconnecting impacts of urban development, livelihoods and everyday politics strategies of urban residents in the Global South.

520 $a A une epoque ou les villes d'Asie du Sud-Est connaissent une croissance et une expansion sans precedent, il est essentiel d'examiner les impacts de ces transformations rapides sur les moyens de subsistance des residents ordinaires. Certes, a Hanoi, les efforts menes par l'Etat pour transformer la capitale en une metropole moderne redefinissent effectivement l'appartenance a la ville: les moyens de subsistance informels sont qualifies de « non civilises » dans le discours de modernisation de l'Etat, et les residents subissent les pressions de politiques visant a organiser les espaces de trottoir. En d'autres termes, l'Etat ne se contente pas de redessiner et de reinventer l'environnement bati de Hanoi, mais aussi de redefinir les parametres de ce qui lui appartient ou pas. Par la presente recherche, je cherche ainsi a attirer l'attention sur les facons dont l'acces a la citoyennete urbaine devient de plus en plus disparate et conteste a Hanoi.Dans cette these, j'etudie une gamme de coherences et de contradictions entre la planification urbaine de l'Etat et les strategies de survie des moyens de subsistance des vendeurs de rue urbains a Hanoi, au Vietnam. Je le fais en me concentrant sur les politiques encadrant le quotidien des micro-mobilites des vendeurs de rues et de leurs strategies de survie. Je retrace les enchainements des visions de l'Etat pour Hanoi depuis Dổi Mới (renovation economique) au milieu des annees 1980, et les impacts des strategies d'urbanisme et de gouvernance qui en ont resulte sur les espaces de vente urbains. Les changements dans les reglementations en matiere d'utilisation des sols et d'urbanisme dans et autour de la ville exercent des pressions sur les citoyens ayant un pouvoir social, economique et politique limite-tels que les vendeurs de rue- et menacent de redefinir l'appartenance et les mobilites urbaines en fonction de lignes de division et d'exclusion. Pourtant, les vendeurs continuent de se tailler des moyens de subsistance informels a travers le paysage urbain en transition rapide de Hanoi. De maniere quotidienne, les vendeurs repondent aux approches de planification urbaine et de gouvernance de l'Etat vietnamien, le faisant pour securiser leurs moyens de subsistance et revendiquer un espace a Hanoi.Mon etude vise a mieux comprendre les coherences et les contradictions entre la planification urbaine de l'Etat et les strategies de survie des moyens de subsistance des vendeurs urbains dans la ville postsocialiste de Hanoi, au Vietnam. Pour atteindre cet objectif, je pose trois questions de recherche fondamentale. Tout d'abord, je demande: quelles visions les differents paliers de l'Etat ont-ils prevu pour Hanoi depuis Dổi Mới, et comment cela affecte-t-il les moyens de subsistance des vendeurs ambulants? Pour repondre a cette question, j'explore les changements dans les reglementations en matiere d'utilisation des terres et d'urbanisme a Hanoi, en etudiant les facons dont ces politiques affectent les vendeurs de rue et leurs mobilites. Pour mieux comprendre l'impact des facteurs du marche sur les vendeurs de la ville, je considere les changements socio-economiques majeurs qui se produisent a Hanoi, et comment ces changements se rejoignent dans l'imagination et la production des espaces publics de la ville.Ma deuxieme question de recherche est la suivante : comment les vendeurs de rue gagnent-ils leur vie a Hanoi? Afin d'y repondre, je dresse un portrait des pratiques commerciales quotidiennes et des routines des vendeurs de rue de Hanoi, en abordant les points de convergence et de divergence entre les vendeurs fixes et itinerants. J'explore la mesure dans laquelle les liens sociaux et les responsabilites menageres jouent un role dans les processus decisionnels en matiere de strategies de subsistance des vendeurs ambulants. Pour mieux comprendre comment les vendeurs de rue trouvent ou non une place dans la capitale, j'examine les processus spatiaux et les pratiques en jeu dans la lutte pour l'acces aux rues de Hanoi, en me concentrant sur l'experience des vendeurs du paysage urbain.Ma troisieme question de recherche pose la question suivante: comment les vendeurs de rue de Hanoi font-ils face aux contradictions entre la planification urbaine de l'Etat et leurs propres strategies de subsistance? Pour mieux comprendre les luttes de pouvoir qui definissent l'acces aux trottoirs, j'etudie les points de chevauchement et de divergence entre les perceptions de l'Etat et celles des vendeurs quant a l'espace de la rue dans Hanoi. J'examine comment les politiques qui touchent au quotidien des vendeurs prennent forme dans ce contexte de transition urbaine et la mesure dans laquelle les vendeurs informels reagissent par la resistance, la conformite ou la negociation. Je soutiens que les concepts issus de la mobilite, de la citoyennete urbaine et de la litterature sur les politiques du quotidien fournissent une base cruciale pour comprendre la facon dont les vendeurs negocient les contradictions entre leurs experiences vecues des rues de Hanoi et les imaginaires spatiaux des Etats.Sur le plan conceptuel, ma recherche s'appuie sur cinq principaux corpus d'etudes: (1) les spatialisations sociales; (2) la citoyennete urbaine; (3) les moyens de subsistance durables; (4) les mobilites; et (5) les politiques publiques encadrant les normes de la vie quotidienne et la resistance sociale. Mon travail sur le terrain s'est principalement concentre sur le district de Hoan Kiếm a Hanoi, situe au coeur de la ville, associe a une collecte de donnees comparatives dans huit districts urbains supplementaires et trois communautes periurbaines et rurales. Ma recherche adopte une approche ethnographique, incorporant six methodes de base : les entrevues conversationnelles, les entrevues semi-structurees, les revues sollicitees, photovoice, l'observation des participants et les ethnographies mobiles. Les participants a la recherche comprenaient des vendeurs de rue, des residents urbains, des responsables de l'application de la loi, des planificateurs d'Etat et des decideurs.Cette these donne un apercu des tensions entre la vision de l'Etat vietnamien sur le developpement et les experiences quotidiennes, les routines, et les strategies de survie des commercants informels travaillant en marge de la legalite. Je soutiens qu'en maintenant leur presence dans la ville, malgre les reglementations de l'Etat, les vendeurs remettent en question les visions etroites de l'Etat d'un nouveau Hanoi « moderne ». Dans ce processus, les vendeurs plaident en faveur de la coexistence d'elements « nouveaux » et « traditionnels » du paysage urbain et revendiquent l'avenir de Hanoi. De cette facon, le paysage de rue de Hanoi devient l'objet et le lieu des luttes citoyen-Etat, soulignant les facons dont la regulation etatique de la vie quotidienne est internalisee pour contester les sanctions etatiques d'exclusion. Grace a cette these, j'espere contribuer a la comprehension en sciences sociales des liens, de la complexites et des impacts interconnectes entre le developpement urbain, les moyens de subsistance et les strategies de resistance quotidiennes des residents urbains dans les pays du Sud, ainsi que des facteurs qui initient et soutiennent de telles mesures.
