According to the new plan, the direction of town space development will follow a concentrated urban model, developing together with the road which is parallel to the national highway 15.

The adjusted planning area of the town is 4,640.93 hectares, in which the adjusted planning area is 1,029 hectares and the expanded planning area is 3,611.93. With the new planning, Mai Chau town will have adjacent points with Dong Bang, Mai Ha, Pu Bin, Thung Khe, Noong Luong, Na Phon and Na Meo communes.
With a large land fund (after planning), Mai Chau town will have more conditions to invest resources, developing the space of urban service areas. According to the new plan, the public service works such as cultural houses, exhibitions, children's playing areas, trade centers, supermarkets, administrative agencies and so on are built synchronously. The space of the concentrated residential areas in Mai Chau town will be deployed according to the model of taking green trees and public service works such as cultural houses, children's playing areas and kindergartens as a nucleus.
