Kensington Market – Toronto
“Kensington Market in Toronto is a unique place where the above elements intersect. Layers of history, non-confirming land uses, buildings that are not to code generate spaces where livelihoods meet diverse cultural and authentic experiences. This is a place impossible to design from scratch, not to replace but it is in the absence of over-prescribed uses and areas protected from gentrification from community land trusts are we able to allow for pockets of uniqueness to emerge in the banality of developer driven urbanism.” (Booklet Positive Lived Experiences of Quality in the Built Environment 2023, p.221).
