Every ‘true’ economic cluster has a geographical region. Examples are the Waterloo ICT cluster, the Halifax ICT cluster, and other similar clusters in other industries. The Toronto music cluster is no different. The majority of activity occurs within very specific boundaries, which you can see on the map below.
As is apparent from the map, the geographic boundaries of the Toronto entertainment district, which pull double-duty as rough boundaries for this cluster, are fairly constrained. However, a high concentration of venues, educational institutions, and artist support resources (such as music stores, recording studios) are within these boundaries.
This MasterCard sponsored page (http://www.mastercard.com/canada/teda/tedamap.html) provides a listing of many of the theatres and venues inside these boundaries that support the cluster and it’s growth.
