The city of Toronto and various locations in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) have been nicknamed "Hollywood North" because of its film industry. Many American film productions come to Toronto (and other parts of Canada) to film mainly because the cost is lower than the United States, but also because Toronto is a very diverse city. Not only is it the most multi-cultural city in the world, but it also contains many different types of architecture and landscapes.
