How Does the Mohenjo-Daro Map Help Us Understand Ancient Urban Planning?

[Campus reveiw]

Mohenjo-Daro provides important archaeological evidence for understanding urban life during the Bronze Age.

A map of the settlement helps students examine the relationship between its elevated Citadel, Lower Town, streets, public structures, and residential areas.



The city's drainage infrastructure is particularly significant. Archaeological evidence shows that many houses had bathing areas connected to drains running alongside streets.

Studying these features together helps explain how urban design, water management, and everyday life were connected in the Indus Valley Civilization.

The Campus Review's Mohenjo-Daro guide provides a starting point for exploring the city's location and archaeological layout.
