Research Topic: Kensington Market (Toronto)
There is nothing more frustrating than building a THEORY and CONTEXT on your own, then being unable to find any supporting sources! Instead, gradually build your argument based on what you find. When building up a set of questions be sure to:
- use information sources to guide you in the process and let the information retrieved help you CREATE a hypothesis (general theory) then PROVE a hypothesis
NOTE: both the encyclopedia and book used below:
- do not SPECIFICALLY mention Kensington Market, instead, they offer
- THEORETICAL and CONTEXTUAL frames for your interpretations and on-site analysis of the SPECIFIC case-study neighbourhood.

When searching for a “general theory” to understanding urban planning, the entry on “Urban Environments and Human Behavior” from The Encyclopedia of Applied Psychology offers a seminal glossary of terms that you can then use to:
- translate your thoughts on the topic into terminologies used in urban planning
- create new keywords to use when searching for books or journal articles
