A sidewalk repair shop operates on Hang Dong Street in Thanh Hoa, Vietnam, on March 23, 2025. Under aging awnings and faded signs that advertise electrical repairs, several men work directly on the pavement, surrounded by tools, spare parts, and small machines. Plastic stools and makeshift workstations define the space, reflecting the resourcefulness and hands-on labor that power much of the city's informal economy. The blend of street-level commerce, worn architecture, and green plants creates a layered and authentic urban scene.
