Destination districts

What do you call a commercial neighbourhood that is mostly devoted to the sale of one type of product or service? A "destination district"? There must be a more official urban studies delineation. I can think of five major ones in Hamilton and Toronto. Are there any more in Toronto? How about other cities?

1. Largest textile district in Canada: Ottawa Street, Hamilton.


2. Antiques: Locke Street, Hamilton.


3. Vintage/used clothing: Kensington Market, Toronto.


4. Pawn shops (and cameras): Queen and Church, Toronto.


5. Home decor: Castlefield and environs, Toronto. Very much auto-centric, no strolling from shop to shop here.


6. Computer shops: College and Spadina, Toronto. I purchased a laptop in this district once.
