Detailed explanation-1: -Indus people were the first to build planned cities with scientific drainage system. The Indus cities were built on an uniform plan. Town planning was amazing in nature. A few cities have citadels to the West built on higher platform and to the east of which is the hub of residential area.
Detailed explanation-2: -The town planning system of the Indus Valley civilization has impressed many archaeologists. They systematically planned their residential houses, public buildings, and streets and had proper drainage systems. All homes were well-connected to the drains of the roads.
Detailed explanation-3: -The people of the Indus Valley used mud from the river to make bricks to build their buildings. They would mix the soil with water and press it into wooden molds then bake it in the sun or kiln. Harappa was partially built on mud-brick platforms about 20 feet thick to protect it from flooding.
