Kaki Lima Stories.

The book begins with Kaki Lima stories from Southeast Asia, particularly from the countries bordering the Malacca Strait. The book investigates the five-footway as the generator of the public realm by illustrating how the physical attributes of the 31 Kaki Lima sticky activities contribute to the livability of downtown Kuala Lumpur after a brief review of the theoretical background of the importance of the Kaki Lima sticky activities for the city's liveliness. These activities may slow down traffic, but it is precisely this that draws pedestrians' attention to shop displays and makes public space so appealing.
