A summary of our points and yet, by its very existence, acknowledges the recommendations is found at the end of this report. growing importance of entertainment planning. This report, the first comprehensive examination of the state of entertainment in Toronto’s downtown, reveals that the sector is in flux. The intensification of residential and commercial development in the downtown core is placing strain on entertainment resources, and creating a discordant relationship between these often conflicting land uses. At the same time, tastes are changing, and the sector is constantly adapting to address new challenges and opportunities. By first sketching a definition of enter- tainment that narrows from the holistic to the functional, our report creates a framework for an analysis of stake- holder interviews, twenty years of quantitative data, policy approaches within Toronto, and best practices around the world. 2 3 TRENDS CONTEXT 20 entertaining the masses (entertainment in cities) 10 PEER setting the scene 24from warehouse PRESSURE to where-it’s-at (toronto’s 12 evolving entertainment district) 54 RECOMMEND- speak easy peer pressure ATIONS (a review of best practices) (defining entertainement) 28trending in toronto (a land use and cultural planning policy review) 64 34 summary of recommendations nightclubs in toronto (a planning case study) 68 41 appendix what’s going on? (statistical + references cartographic analysis) list of key stakeholders list of interviewees word on the street (interviews) 4 PROLOGUE Surrounded by towering condominiums, the Alexander Street Parkette is a simple, green oasis amidst the bustle of life in downtown Toronto. Sparsely landscaped but still sheltered from the traffic and human congestion of nearby Yonge Street, the parkette is a popular outdoor extension of the adjacent Buddies in Bad Times Theatre. In 1994, this small, independent theatre company moved its operations to 12 Alexander Street. Always innovative, Buddies’ founders began fundraising for their theatre productions by offering patrons the option to enjoy drinks at the lobby bar before and after performances. This initiative, which is known as “Buddies After Hours,” has become a successful entertainment fixture in the Church-Wellesley neighbourhood, attracting people from across the city. Featuring a DJ on Saturday nights, Buddies After Hours is a well-known dancing venue, with festivities lasting late into the night and patrons using the adjacent parkette as an outdoor space for after-hours entertainment. This would be fine, except that Buddies in Bad Times is not zoned for dancing. The City of Toronto owns the theatre (which it leases to Buddies) and the adjacent parkette, which are collectively zoned as Open Space. This restrictive zoning category contains a special exemption for Buddies to operate as a theatre—Entertainment Place of Assembly—which does not permit dancing. The theatre regularly receives noise complaints relating to loud music and raised voices late at night—underscoring the reality that entertainment uses, no matter how organically they may evolve, often conflict with other land uses and clash with municipal policies. Under these circumstances, the theatre has become emblematic of a wider challenge facing Toronto: the turbulent relationship between a densifying downtown and the entertainment services that are routinely considered critical to fostering vibrant urban life. “ToronTo’s global idenTITY HAS CHANGED DRA- MATICALLY. WHEREAS PEOPLE USED TO THINK WE WERE A SLEEPY, BORING CITY, NOW WE ARE CON- sidered ‘Vegas of THE NORTh.’ BECAUSE OF THE RESTAURANTS AND THE NIGHTLIFE, PEOPLE ACTUALLY HAVE A GOOD TIME HERE. TORONTO HAS A VIBE AND A SCENE, WHEREAS BEFORE IT WAS MONTREAL THAT WAS CONSIDERED THE COOL CA- NADIAN CITY. WE HAVE NOW SURPASSED MONTREAL FIVE TIMES OVER WITH THE NUMBER OF OPTIONS AND THE ENERGY ON THE WEEKENDS. ANY NIGHT OF THE WEEK, There’s someTHING TO DO HERE.

These trends, which may represent and around the world. Planning perspectives on a looming challenge for entertainment planning in entertainment range from seeing it as a resource to Toronto, raise a number of interesting questions: How be exploited for economic gain (producing the sort should the City maintain a vibrant entertainment scene of urban vitality that attracts the creative class) to in a downtown core that is becoming increasingly seeking ways to curtail the nuisances it causes (in the dense?
