In order to expand the space of the town area to match the urban scale, in May 2016, Mai Chau district announced the decision to approve the Scheme on the adjustment of Mai Chau general construction planning with a scale of 1/5000 up to 2025 and the vision up to 2035.
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 district's main external traffic will be the national highway 6 and national highway. 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.
The polluting production facilities such as slaughterhouses, the facilities making noise and affecting the water and air environment are also expected to move out of the urban areas. The district will convert the land funds into green parks, parking lots and high quality public facilities after relocating. The development of the town's space is carried out in the spirit of respecting and preserving the old urban structure, forming a center with a distinctive identity and versatility.
