Question

4. Describe any four features of Harappan cities in about 60 words.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Harappan cities were generally divided into two- the raised area-'Citadel', and the lower town. The Citadel was more in height because the buildings in it were built on mud brick platforms. This area was separated from the lower town by a wall. The citadel had within its fold important buildings.

The main characteristics of town planning were the following:

i) Each city was divided into two parts-the raised area called the 'Citadel' and the 'lower town.'

ii) The main streets followed a grid pattern running from north to south or from east to west.

iii) The houses at street corners were rounded to allow carts to pass easily.

iv) House drains emptied all waste water into the street drains.

v) The streets crossed the main road at right angles, dividing the city into square or rectangular blocks.
