Urban Planning of Indus Valley Civilization: An Evergreen Legacy of Intelligent City Planning



Urban planning is generally regarded as a contemporary notion associated with smart cities and green development. But its origins trace back to the earliest times — perhaps most amazingly in the Indus Valley Civilization, which flourished more than 4,500 years ago. The town planning of the Indus Valley Civilization is still one of the most astounding accomplishments of early human society. By considering city designs, water management, and infrastructure planning, the Harappans provided a model for modern town planning.

In this blog, we’ll explore the city planning of the Indus Valley Civilization, also known as Harappan town planning, and how this ancient marvel still inspires modern infrastructure designs. We’ll also highlight how ShapeSpace Associates, a modern leader in architecture and infrastructure design, carries forward the legacy of intelligent and sustainable urban planning.
