Printed in the USA. Copyright © 2017 International Cultural Property Society doi:10.1017/S0940739116000382 Development versus Preservation Interests in the Making of a Music City: A Case Study of Select Iconic Toronto Music Venues and the Treatment of Their Intangible Cultural Heritage Value Sara Gwendolyn Ross* Abstract: Urban redevelopment projects increasingly draw on culture as a tool for rejuvenating city spaces but, in doing so, can overemphasize the economic or exchange-value potential of a cultural space to the detriment of what was initially meaningful about a space—that which carries great cultural community wealth, use-value, or embodies a group’s intangible cultural heritage. Development and preservation interests illustrate this tension in terms of how cultural heritage— both tangible and intangible—is managed in the city. This article will turn to Toronto’s “Music City” strategy that is being deployed as part of a culture- focused urban redevelopment trend and Creative City planning initiative in order to examine how the modern urban intangible merits of city spaces are valuated and dealt with in light of the comparatively weak regard accorded to intangibility within the available heritage protection legal frameworks of Canada, Ontario, and, specifically, Toronto.

    Armin Van Buuren, Zedd, Pete Tong, Carl Cox, Excision and Steve Angello to Headline 2015 Bud Light Digital Dreams Festival, June 27 & 28 Toronto, ON (March 31, 2015) – Bud Light Digital Dreams has recently announced the very best local and international talent across multiple electronic music genres. Our Dreamers will see these artists grace three stages at Bud Light Digital Dreams Electronic Music Festival this summer over two days. Back for its fourth year, Bud Light Digital Dreams, produced by Live Nation Canada in partnership with INK Entertainment, will take place in Toronto at the The Flats at Ontario Place on Saturday, June 27th and Sunday June 28th. Since the inauguration of the festival in 2012 we have continuously worked to bring in top tier talent, state of the art technologies, and a cultural experience like no other. This year will be no different. As the landscape of festivals and electronic dance music continues to evolve, so do we. Included in our evolution will be the introduction of the BACARDÍ® Untameable Stage. This stage features the newest genre of house music, future live sounds that includes the use of live instruments and performances. The BACARDÍ Untameable Stage will also showcase the biggest names in dubstep and bass music. “Helping to showcase the evolution of music is a role that we are proud to play,” said Nadine Iacocca, Marketing Director, Rums for Bacardi Canada Inc. “As EDM continues to heavily influence the future of music, we are excited to be part of the journey that showcases the energy, optimism and passion of those boundary- pushing artists.” In addition, Bud Light Digital Dreams welcomes Spotify as the exclusive online streaming partner.

Brown has seen this relationship evolve having helmed Prism, the “gay wing” of Embrace, Canada’s number promo- tional company, as its Director of Operations for the last nine years. “This year we are unsure what’s going on,” Brown responds acknowledging there has been little com- munication with this year’s Pride Toronto board. “However we look forward to working again with them as it is an imperative part Toronto’s gay history and we are encouraged to help keep it relevant and moving in the right direction.” Like a symbiotic relationship, Prism Toronto and Pride Toronto have benefited from the international tourists both organizations attract to the city every summer. With Prism celebrating a milestone 15th anniversary, and Pride now in its 37th year, the relationship is just as important now than ever. “The fact is we do have one of the strongest Prides in the world and this has really helped our event stay relevant,” Brown explains. “We also do a good job of keeping up to date as to what is current within the circuit scene.” What is relevant and current this year is change.

There are so many people I would like to thank for their time, support, and love during the past two and a half years: First, I would like to thank the ten women who graciously shared with me their time and stories. This project would have been impossible without you. I only hope I have done your stories justice. Sincere thanks also go out to my supervisory committee, Dr. David Butz and Dr. Rebecca Raby, for your consistent enthusiasm about my project, both substantively and theoretically, and for giving me the freedom to work at my own pace, while always being there to provide engaged and thought-provoking responses to my questions, feedback on my written work, and reading material when I needed it most. Specifically, thank you David, for providing sound advice when I began to question what I was doing in graduate school, for giving me the freedom and time to shape (and re-shape) my thesis until I was comfortable with the ways I represented myself, interviewees, and rave, and for giving me the opportunity to work for you as a Teaching Assistant and as a Research Assistant. You have challenged me in ways that only a good supervisor can.
