Bio/Research
Dr. Evan Cleave is a human geographer whose research and teaching focus on urban, economic and business geography issues. His doctoral research was on understanding the effectiveness of place branding in influencing decision-making of businesses, talent, and immigrants. Evan’s current work examines issues of effective local economic development planning and finance. Further research explores the changing spatial distribution of manufacturing in Ontario, the spatial-temporal patterns of plant closure, and their impacts on affected workers and communities. Finally, Evan is using the recent Amazon HQ2 competition as a jumping-off point to investigate contemporary business attraction strategies of cities, as well as the key factors that drive location decision-making of large firms.
Prior to joining Toronto Metropolitan University, Evan was an SSHRC Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Toronto. He earned his PhD from the Department of Geography at the University of Western Ontario after doing an M.GIS from the University of Calgary.
