- The town planning scheme used by the Harappan culture was grid-based, with streets and alleyways cutting across one another almost at right angles to divide the city into numerous rectangular blocks.
- Each of the ancient cities of Harappa, Mohenjodaro, and Kalibangan had a fortress built on a tall mud-brick pedestal.
The following were the primary traits of town planning:
- Each city was split into two sections: the citadel, an elevated area, and the lower town.
- The major thoroughfares were arranged in a grid from east to west or north to south.
- To make it easier for carts to pass, the residences at street corners were rounded.
- All sewage from homes was dumped into the city's storm drains.
- The city was divided into square or rectangular blocks by the streets that intersected the main road at right angles.
