The document summarizes key aspects of cities from the Indus Valley Civilization based on archaeological findings. The cities were divided into two parts - an upper, fortified section where the ruling class likely lived, and a lower, unprotected section occupied by common people. Main streets in the cities ran north-south and east-west, intersecting at right angles, and were broad and straight, suitable for wheeled traffic. Lanes with public wells branched off the streets.

Harappan civilization
Large cities divided into two parts: Both at Harappa and Mohenjo- Daro and also at Kalibangan, the city was divided into two main parts. The higher and upper portion of the city was protected by a construction which looks like a fort. The ruling class of the towns perhaps lived in the protected area. The other part of the towns was lower in height than the former and common men lived in this area. The lower area of the towns generally spread over one square mile. CITY PLAN
The main streets of Indus Valley ran from north to south and east to west intersecting one another at right angles. The streets were broad varying from 9 feet to 34 feet. They ran straight to a mile. They were suitable for wheeled traffic. Lanes were joined with the streets. Each lane had a public welt. Street lamps were provided for welfare of public.
