With the ongoing revitalization of downtown Edmonton, Chinatown will soon see an increase in visitors resulting in a boost to its economy.

The City of Edmonton has invested $56 million dollars towards infrastructure and public amenities as part of the new downtown developments. In an effort to encourage area growth, the city’s downtown developments include a new urban community from 97th Street to 92nd Street and from 103A Avenue to the north of the river valley.
