A notable feature of the Harappan civilization is its town planning.
The planning of the whole civilization is the same.
Roads, streets, alleys, sewers, public bathrooms, residential buildings, public buildings, etc., all have the same type of planning.
All the towns are divided into $2$ parts.
There is a fort on a high platform in the western part of the town.
The eastern part of the town is called the lower town.
It is inhabited by the people of the town.
The fort on the west side is the residence of the ruler in which the work of governing system will take place.
Here are the functions according to the status of the persons attached to the regime. There are granaries.
The fort is fortified on all sides to protect it.
The town on the east side has residential houses.
It intersects each other at right angles.
Roads are located Small roads are connected to the main road.
Most of the houses are made of kiln backed bricks.
Some houses have three to four rooms.
Remains of courtyard, well, kitchen, bathroom and terrace have been found along with such houses.
The main feature of these houses is that the doors of the houses opened into the streets inside instead of opening on the main road.
There is a difference in the shape of the houses.
Wealthy people would live in a big house and thus class people would live in a one room house.
Sewerage Scheme: Another special part of the town planning of Harappan civilization was its sewerage scheme.
This type of sewer system is not found anywhere in its contemporary civilizations except the island of Crete.
Underground drains and sewers were planned in every small and big latta for disposal of dirty water and garbage from the entire town.
A well was made in each building.
It was planned that once it was filled to some extent, their water would automatically flow into the large gutters connected to it.
A ditch was placed on the road where the water of the house on both sides was collected.
Steps were also laid at certain distances to clear these sewers.
Evidence has been found that the correctional servants cleaned it from time to time.
Cesspools will be covered with a stone lid so that no germs of dirty water can spread outside.
These gutters were made of bricks and special large, wide and curved bricks were made for it.
From such a well-organized sewerage scheme, it seems that at that time there would be an organization like an efficient municipality and its people would have a sense of cleanliness as well as health care and a high level of citizenship.
Pits found at certain distances on both sides of the road in the town give an idea of the night lighting system.
The main highway connecting the east and west cities is 40 feet wide.
Some one- and two-story buildings have been found in Mohenjo-daro.
Wooden beams were used to make the floor.
The house has a well and a bathroom.
Which is a major feature of urban civilization.
