Answer 1

Town planning was the most distinguishable feature of the Harappan civilization. hence, Indus valley civilization is also called first urbanization.Towns were divided into parts viz. citadel and lower town. citadels were occupied by members of ruling class and lower town was inhabited by the common people.Dhaulavira is an exception because it was existed in three parts.Harappan cities were developed in Block Pattern/Chess Board Patternbecause roads of these cities used to cut each other at right angles.Most peculiar feature of town planning was their drainage system. drains were built of burnt bricks and covered by stone lids and manholes for cleaning. It shown that Harappan people were very conscious of hygiene.The Harappans knew the art of measurement as some bricks inscribed with measure marks have been found at some cities.Complete burial of dead body was the common method followed for disposal.Banwali and Kalibangan shows two phases, viz. pre-Harappan and Harappan.Rojadi, Desalpur and Surkotada faced all the three stages of Harappan civilization viz. pre-Harappan, Harappan and post-Harappan.Chanhudaro was the only city without citadel.
