1. Retain old world charms
- Shophouses conserved to retain "rich sense of place and history". These shop houses reflects various historical architectural styles
2. Keeping up with modern developments
- "The proposal is to adopt a combination of strategies - one of which is the "old and new" conservation strategy, where the front of these shophouses is kept, while the rear can have new developments. With this approach, the history, architecture and familiar streetscapes are not lost."
3. Improving facilities E.g. Additional parking
