The Strategy is built around five development pillars with supporting actions, all of which contribute collectively to guide Edmonton's Chinatown into the future:

- Enhance built form and landmarks
The directions of each pillar were guided by Chinatown cultural organizations, the retail and business sector and community organizations.
