The informal sector is mostly a consequence of the fact that people are disconnected from modern production networks – an inefficiency that will not be resolved simply by reducing the cost of registering a business or forcing small firms to pay taxes. What is required is a redesign of urban space, including subways and dedicated bus lanes, and a more integrated approach to housing, social services, and production areas.
非正规部门往往是人与现代化生产网络脱节的结果——单纯降低企业注册成本或逼迫小企业纳税无法让效率提高。我们需要重新设计地铁和公交专用道等城市空间，并综合考虑住房、社会服务和生产区域等各项规划。政府必须开始做点好事，而不只是不做坏事就算完成任务。
