Urban development and town planning are crucial aspects of the Mising Autonomous Council (MAC), aimed at ensuring sustainable growth and improved living standards within urban and peri-urban areas inhabited by the Mising community. The MAC focuses on holistic urban planning strategies that prioritise infrastructure development, environmental sustainability and community participation.

Urban development initiatives include the provision of basic amenities such as water supply, sanitation, electricity and road connectivity to urban settlements. Additionally, the MAC implements measures to promote affordable housing, waste management systems and green spaces within urban areas.
