Mention at least four points relating to the Urban planning in the Indus valley
civilization
Answers
Answer:
By 2600 BCE, the small Early Harappan communities had become large urban centers. These cities include Harappa, Ganeriwala, and Mohenjo-daro in modern-day Pakistan, and Dholavira, Kalibangan, Rakhigarhi, Rupar, and Lothal in modern-day India. In total, more than 1,052 cities and settlements have been found, mainly in the general region of the Indus River and its tributaries. The population of the Indus Valley Civilization may have once been as large as five million.
Answer:
The Indus Valley Civilization contained more than 1,000 cities and settlements.
These cities contained well-organized wastewater drainage systems, trash collection systems, and possibly even public granaries and baths.
Although there were large walls and citadels, there is no evidence of monuments, palaces, or temples.
The uniformity of Harappan artifacts suggests some form of authority and governance to regulate seals, weights, and bricks.
