How does the Mohenjo-Daro map help us understand ancient urban planning?

Campus reveiw
Mohenjo-Daro is an important site for studying early urban development. Its archaeological remains include planned streets, residential buildings, and drainage infrastructure.

A site map can help students connect these discoveries with the organisation of the ancient settlement. It also raises interesting questions about how archaeologists interpret excavated areas and reconstruct the layout of a city.



For readers interested in exploring the site visually, this guide from The Campus Review provides a useful starting point:
